Publisher's Synopsis
An emotionally powerful romance novel from the author of A SHOT IN THE DARK.
Goldie Gensler has always wanted to be a concert musician like her parents-but after a devastating multiple sclerosis diagnosis, that dream feels more urgent than ever. The world's most prestigious international piano competition in Stockholm is coming up in two months-it's the perfect chance for Goldie to make her dream come true. But her competition will be stiff because Jamie Larson, with his perfect technique and derisive glare and gorgeous ocean blue eyes, is competing too.
Jamie has always resented Goldie for her easy road to professional musicianship, given her wealthy parents who were both first chair in the New York Philharmonic. Jamie spent hours and hours studying to make it from small-town Iowa to the best music school in New York City. But his technical precision is no match for the way Goldie's imperfect but emotionally resonant music makes audiences swoon. He's determined to prove that skill and dedication are what makes for a good musician, but after his brother's suicide three years ago, Jamie just doesn't love music like he used to.
Goldie and Jamie have their own reasons to win, but when unexpected events force them to practice-and live-together in Goldie's apartment over the holidays, they discover their passion for more than just music.
