Home from his latest mission, he's annoyed to be roped into attending the wedding of a family friend--until it reunites him with the fearless tomboy who has become a breathtaking beauty. And though his thoughts should be on a new concerto, Kade is soon distracted by rival suitors, a dangerous quest--and the unconventional woman who fills his soul with music and his body with desire . . .
