'I couldn't tear myself away' ERIN KELLY

His beautiful twin sister, Natasha, serves as his manager and minder. But despite Natasha's careful planning, he begins, for the first time in his career, to make mistakes on stage. Upending his schedule to seek a cure in Paris, Max sets up the pair in the sprawling mansion of a handsome and wealthy count. But Henri is more than just a patron of the arts; he has also been - unknown to Max - Natasha's lover.

Freed from the familiar dynamic of manager and talent, Natasha's simmering resentment and Max's deep insecurity turn into a rivalry, as the two vie for Henri's attention. While Henri woos Natasha in galleries and cafés during the day, it is Max's playing that draws him from bed each night.

As the twins compete, the fractures in their already vulnerable relationship start to show, with devastating consequences for both.
