“Explodes from the first page…Catherine Coulter’s Bombshell delivers a breakneck plot, magnetic characters, and just enough romance to make everything sizzle—that is to say, exactly what the world loves about her bestselling FBI series…My one complaint is the book should come with a warning: Don’t open this if you have any plans.

Not only was Dr. Hayman in charge of the prestigious music school, he was also an internationally celebrated concert pianist, with a libido, she’d read in a critic’s review, to rival his glissandos. When it came to renown, he was in a different universe than hers. She and Anna Castle, a violinist from Louisiana and her best friend in Maestro, had decided Dr. Hayman enjoyed the role of director because it appealed to his vanity, but they also both acknowledged it was only the older graduate students, like herself, who believed that he was, at the core, faintly contemptuous of the students.
