  Music is Juliet Crawford's life - her passion and her first true love. Her dream is to be the chief conductor of one of the great orchestras: even the heartbreaking round of conducting competitions has not broken her spirit. And when she loses at an all-important contest in Paris, she is consoled by the glowing praise of the world-famous Czech conductor Alexander Stoltze and his brilliant young protege Karel Haken. Back in Edinburgh, Juliet and her equally-ambitious flatmates immerse themselves in the music they love - so they are there for Juliet when Karel crosses her path once more and leaves her with a broken heart. Then, at last, she gets her chance, as assistant conductor for the London Symphony Orchestra. She will somehow have to make her name in a make-or-break year, while overcoming a jealous rival and working for the man she once thought she could love.

  Juliet Crawford is in love. In love with life, in love with music, and in love with Paris -- the city where her dreams are meant to come true. Those dreams lie in tatters when Juliet loses an all-important conducting competition, and her ambition to lead one of the world's greatest orchestras seems destined to remain unfulfilled. Her despair is lifted when world-famous maestro Alexander Stoltze and his dashing young protege Karel Haken personally praise Juliet's conducting style. Yet Karel's interest in her is not purely professional. Her heart stolen, and then broken, Juliet seeks comfort from her friends back in Edinburgh, each of them, like her, facing not only the ups and downs of strong competition, but also the gruelling demands of life itself. With love and laughter they draw strength and support from one another and success is within Juliet's grasp. But is it possible to have everything?
