The Forgotten Symphony

She left the stage behind. But the music—and the man—never let her go. Once a celebrated concert pianist, Mira Hartley abandoned her rising career after a devastating betrayal stole her passion and silenced her spirit. Years later, she returns to her Midwestern hometown for what should be a short favor: help save the crumbling local arts center and walk away—again. But Greybridge isn't the same town she left. And neither is Zane Keller. Zane, the rugged and quietly brilliant contractor behind the center's revival, carries his own scars and unfinished melodies. The last thing he expects is to see Mira walk back into his life—or to feel the same electric pull between them that once almost became something more. Thrown together by a shared mission, late-night rehearsals, and an unexpected duet of past wounds and present hope, Mira and Zane begin to rediscover not just the music they once loved—but the rhythm they never found the courage to follow. As the town's showcase approaches, Mira faces a life-altering decision: return to the safety of her past in Vienna… or finally step into the life—and love—she almost forgot. Poignant, heartwarming, and laced with slow-burn romance, The Forgotten Symphony is a story of healing, second chances, and the music we carry inside us even when the spotlight fades. Perfect for fans of emotional contemporary romance with a touch of nostalgia, this novel will strike a chord with anyone who's ever wondered what might have happened if they'd stayed—and dared to begin again.
