Sound and Submission

Perfection. Discipline. Control.

I'm a classical musician, a pianist of the highest order, a prodigy who sells out concert halls, but I'm so unsure of myself that I can't step onto a stage without feeling like I'm suffocating. I can't let go, can't relax. I have to be everything they say I am, brilliant, a virtuoso, even when I feel worthless and like I'm about to crack.

And then I meet him, Levi Savage, the man who changes everything, a wild, damaged rockstar, rich and impenetrable. He's not looking for a relationship with an innocent classical musician, and I'm afraid of how he makes me feel, makes me question everything about myself.

Perfection or passion? Pleasure or pain?

Is there even a difference in our world, where the stakes are so high, where money and champagne flow like water, where artists and millionaires pretend they're not living in different worlds, rubbing elbows at parties in sprawling mansions and lavish ballrooms. I know he's bad for me, and I know that when he hurts me, I'll only have myself to blame...
