Lorelei

by Louise Christie, Vanessa Wright (Editor), Samantha Fowler (Editor)

In the glittering but perilous world of high culture and international intrigue, pianist Julia Challoner’s life unravels in the most public of places—Heathrow Airport. A chance encounter with economic consultant James Grant leads to a tangled web of betrayal, surveillance, and a blossoming romance that threatens to undo them both.

As Christmas snow blankets Vienna, Julia battles suspicion from Interpol, the stalking press, and financial ruin after the arrest of her charismatic agent. Grant, captivated by her vulnerability and strength, steps into the storm to protect her—but his life in diplomacy pulls him into global affairs that leave Julia questioning whether love can truly endure.

From royal palaces to quiet lakefronts in New Zealand, their journey is one of dazzling performances, whispered secrets, and stolen moments under immense pressure. As past mistakes haunt her and threats loom near, Julia must decide whether love is worth the risk of losing everything she’s rebuilt.

Beautifully written and emotionally charged, Lorelei is a sweeping romance of two lives colliding against the backdrop of politics, press, and piano keys. Perfect for readers who crave mystery wrapped in glamour, and heartbreak tempered by hope.
