Sonata (n) a composition for one or two instruments, typically in three or four movements in contrasted forms and keys.
In the fifth novel of the Sommersett series Ashlyn and Elijah are dually raising a now 5 year old Mercy. Life goes on in the Standish household, as unfair as it may be at times.
What Ashlyn doesn't know is that Elijah still has emotional feelings for her, but has no intention of ever letting her know. Losing her and Mercy through his admission makes him wary of ever making his confession.
When Damon, the new art teacher at Sommersett High takes an interest in Ashlyn, Elijah is consumed with jealousy and does what he can to separate them before he decides to then fight for the woman he loves.
What Elijah does not realise, is that Ashlyn has fallen in love with him too. But like Elijah, she is too afraid to admit her feelings in case she in turn is rejected. Is it possible that these two can reconnect after all these years, or is it too late to rekindle what lay in their past?
