She is forbidden fruit. The daughter of his best friend long since dead...
When Roman Brandt stumbles across the existence of his best friend's daughter, he discovers that someone is pursuing her through the streets of Londo for reasons Roman can never divulge. All he can do is protect her from the dark secrets of Londo City, shield her from the truth of her father's death and keep her at arm's length—far away from his long-suppressed hunger. Veronique thinks he's a real man. A good man. If she only knew...
Talented, independent Veronique inspires Roman, tempts him, but most of all exasperates him. She is determined to become a member of the Citizen Symphony no matter how hard he tries to keep her out of the public eye. Once the Overseers hear Veronique play, they will know who she is and take her away forever. Roman can't let that happen. Not only for Veronique's sake, but for the sake of his slowly awakening heart.
