Contemporary BWAM interracial romance · The Ashgrove Symphony
A Fair Hearing
Three written assessments decide whether she keeps the chair. The man who signs them voted against her.
Tendai Chikore has spent nine superb years as the cellist orchestras ring when someone is ill, and never once held a contract. Now the Ashgrove Symphony gives her six weeks on trial for the sub-principal chair, at the desk beside its principal, Tuan Dinh, who hears what she is about to do before she does it. His first report calls her the best player in the section, and a soloist who happens to be sitting in one. Then she learns he voted for the runner-up.
By week four his corrections in rehearsal room 2 are no longer about bowings, and one of them has said so plainly. Then she splits the section in front of eleven hundred people, and he writes it down exactly as it happened.
She wants a chair nobody can call a favour. He has to put a changed mind on the record, in his own name.
An explicit British orchestra romance: a Black British heroine, a Vietnamese-British hero, plain-spoken consent, and a guaranteed happily ever after. Perfect for fans of Talia Hibbert and Helen Hoang.
One-click and take the chair.
