And she definitely didn’t expect it to also catch the attention of Dawn herself.
But when Raine is later approached by the singer and offered the chance of a lifetime, she’s hesitant at first, held back by years of disappointment and backstabbing. However, after a quick pep talk and gentle push from her best friend, she takes that leap of faith…and it more than pays off.

The Pianist (The Hermès Family Book 4) by Rae Anderson
Pierre Hermès has spent his whole life being groomed to inherit his father’s organization—but the syndicate isn’t convinced he’s ready.
Readiness is measured in stability: a mind sharp enough to command respect, wise enough to navigate shadowed corridors, and steady enough to move between the legitimate and the illicit. Pierre’s history of manic spirals, creative brilliance, and devastating lows makes him a gamble they’re not eager to take.
Phenix Hayes has always been his anchor when the world tilted.
For a decade, distance kept their unspoken truths buried beneath music, ambition, and separate lives. But now, proximity dissolves every barrier they built between themselves. As Pierre fights to prove his stability to the syndicate and to himself, he must confront a deeper, more dangerous truth: the feelings he and Phenix have outrun for years.
Worlds collide. Loyalties shift. And stability—whether of the mind or the heart—proves more precarious than either imagined.
