Sinossi

In 1905, a sixteen-year-old Austrian boy falls in love with the music of his compatriot Franz Lehár when he attends the premiere of Lehár’s operetta ‘The Merry Widow’. The boy dreams of becoming an artist in Vienna, has no great interest in politics and shows no signs of anti-Semitism. His name is Adolf Hitler. Inspired by real events, ‘Song of Buchenwald’ vividly portrays Hitler’s transformation into a murderous, racist fanatic, and Vienna’s degeneration into a hotbed of extremism and hate, where Lehár’s Jewish wife Sophie and his Jewish colleagues – including the great librettist Fritz Löhner-Beda – find themselves in grave and constant danger. Yet one fact remains unchanged: Hitler is still a great admirer of Lehár’s music. Can Lehár use this to persuade Hitler to spare Sophie and his colleagues, or will his pleas fall on deaf ears?

    Laurel Holden has lived an isolated life of her own choosing. An accomplished food and travel writer, Laurel never stayed long in one place, and she liked it that way. Her career has taken her to some of the finest bistros, cafes, and resorts in the world; but now she is about to immerse herself in a region and culture more foreign to her than any she’s known…the Deep South. 
    With the proliferation of bloggers and A.I., Laurel’s career is a dying breed, forcing her to retreat to the small town of Scroggins, Alabama. In the modest house she inherited from a grandmother she never knew, Laurel is about to undergo an awakening. 
    What begins as a temporary respite while considering her options, Laurel will begrudgingly forge connections to a community who has more to teach her than she could have possibly imagined. The people living in Scroggins have never let anyone remain a stranger, and they have no intention of starting now.  
    As rumors swell Laurel is writing a cookbook on Southern food, everyone in town seems to have a recipe…and a story behind it. Laurel discovers that the stories behind the dishes are the most fascinating of all. In the South, food isn’t just nourishment—it’s a bridge between people and their rich histories. And she just may find out a few secrets regarding her own family, which she has felt rejected by all her life. 
    In this charming, character-driven tale of rediscovery, the cosmopolitan traveler is in for a culture shock as she discovers the meaning of community and the sentiment of found family. Laurel Holden was only supposed to be there for the summer, pausing at her fork in the road only long enough to choose which path to take. But maybe the fork was her destination all along. 
    Sometimes, the road to finding yourself takes you right back to where you started.

    An online connection. 
    Masked by anonymity. 
    No cameras. No pictures. 
    Curiosity ignited to intrigue. 
    I thought I knew what I was getting into, but had no idea how far we would go... 
    My intention was to test the waters, dip my toe in the wading pool. Instead I surrendered to the world of seduction and submission as he submerged me--body, mind, and soul--into an ocean of eroticism. 
    Emails, texts, and hidden identities, were one thing. But now, coming face-to-face with the mystery man, the star of my fantasies, both terrifies and completely thrills me. If all goes according to plan, he will intensify the exquisite bond we share by transporting me to that glorious intersection between agony and ecstasy. If not, everything we've built will come crashing down around us, destroying my dreams in the process. 
    Either way, there is no going back. Because I want more. Much more. 
    He always says, "For every ounce of pleasure, a price must be paid." 
    And I am going to pay... 
    Warning: If you’re not a fan of dirty talk or dominant alpha males, “Her Web Master” may not be for you, but if you're looking for an erotic romance with a filthy online book boyfriend who will make your toes curl, meet Sophie’s mysterious Dom.
