Chapter One

Secrets are meant to be kept. Especially during Christmas season. And Sasha was determined to keep her crush just that—a secret.

Warm rich honey. Liquid gold. A waterfall of the smoothest decadent chocolate imaginable—Master Swann’s voice could sing anyone into a writhing state of arousal that scrambled their senses.

With striking good looks that paralleled his voice, the man had heartbreak written all over him. Sasha spent more time gazing dreamily at his handsome face and gorgeous blond hair than at her music book.

One glance from his beautiful golden-brown eyes or one flash of his charismatic smiles suffused her cheeks with heat. She averted her gaze in those moments to hide the effect he had on her.

Today’s rehearsal was for a Christmas concert to be held in New York City’s Central Park, where thousands of people would gather for the lighting of a colossal holiday tree. Only the best singers would make the cut from among dozens who longed to join the highly esteemed professor’s group. Those chosen few would travel from Pittsburgh as Master Swann’s a cappella ensemble to perform in New York.

He was demonstrating how to sing effortlessly from one octave to another. His voice cascaded over the notes in velvety waves into a fluent crescendo, then back down again. Sasha lost herself in his rich, deep resonance and found it nearly impossible to concentrate. His vocal range utterly captivated. her. When he sang higher, capturing those tenor notes with impeccable ease, she nearly melted from her chair onto the floor.

He led the elite class through a warm-up session, then requested they practice vocal scales. Her knees felt weak in his imposing presence, and she had no doubt her voice would give away the overwhelming effect of desire he had on her.

Master Nash Swann. She sighed. Commanding. Sexy. Intriguing. Yes. Master Indeed. Walk those beautiful, long fingers all over me.

She rested her chin on one hand and gazed longingly at the slender hands of the musician as he used them to direct the class. His exquisite hands moved as fluently as his voice, creating an absorbing ambience of sheer delight. She’d never heard God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman sound this entrancing.

Someone from behind kicked her chair abruptly and interrupted her blissful state of daydreaming.

Sasha! Olivia, her best friend, said in an urgent whisper. He’s putting us into groups.

Sasha whipped around. To sing?

"Of course, silly. That is why we’re here." Olivia wrinkled her brows.

Sasha swigged a mouthful of iced tea and straightened in her chair, trying to look studious and alert. She didn’t consider her voice all that great, but she loved to sing and had hoped taking lessons would at the least help her to sing on a more skilled and hopefully professional level.

What she hadn’t expected was an instructor overflowing with charisma. The man’s voice was downright unforgettable. Even outside of class, she heard him speaking and singing in her head.

Sasha, Master Swann said calmly. How about singing with my group? I want to find your range.

She wiped sweaty palms on her skirt and nodded. The way her name rolled off his tongue excited her more than it should. Intrusive thoughts stirred her deep inside. She fleetingly imagined him whispering her name while holding her in a tender embrace. How can I sing in front of him when I can’t even think in his presence? Her thoughts raced.

Lucky duckling you, Olivia chortled from behind. I want to hear every detail after class.

Sasha shot her a nervous glance, then moved to the front, where the instructor and three young guys were sitting in a circle.

I’d like a female in the mix, Master Swann told her as she slid onto an empty chair beside him. "Have you ever sung
