Midnight Melody - An MM Romance

di Tawan Gray (Autore)

WMC Publishing, 2025

Noah Harper thought he knew what loneliness sounded like. It sounded like a piano played alone at midnight. Like wrong notes echoing in an empty venue. Like twenty-three years of practice that never quite measured up. Then Eli Carter knocked on the door. A violinist from Portland. Three weeks in town. Searching for rehearsal space and running from a breakup that told him his music didn't matter. When Noah lets him into Starlight Music Hall that first night, he doesn't expect the music they make together to feel like the first real thing he's touched in years. Their late-night sessions become everything. Piano and violin weaving together in ways that make sense of all the practice, all the struggling, all the years of feeling not good enough. Eli's laugh between pieces. The way their music breathes together. The slowly shrinking distance on the rehearsal room bench. But making music together is easier than admitting what's happening between them. Noah's self-doubt runs deep. Years of being told he's too sensitive, too intense, that he makes everything harder than it needs to be. When Eli brings an unfinished composition and asks Noah to improvise, old fears surface. Noah lashes out, saying the exact words that echo Eli's ex. That maybe they shouldn't be doing this at all. The rehearsal room goes quiet. Eli walks out. And Noah realizes he's broken something that mattered more than it should after only three days. With help from their friends Clara and Marcus, they find their way to the courtyard. To honesty about past wounds and present fears. To a first kiss under string lights and oak branches. To the terrifying admission that three weeks isn't enough, that what they've found deserves a chance even when the logistics are impossible. They have ten days left. Ten days to create something worth performing. Ten days to figure out if what they're building can survive distance and doubt and all the ways they're still learning to trust. Some harmonies you hear immediately. Some take time to find. And sometimes the bravest thing is admitting you need someone, that music sounds incomplete without them, that afternoons teaching students and nights playing alone have become bearable only because of these stolen hours together. Midnight Melody is an intimate MM romance about two musicians who discover that vulnerability is terrifying, creative partnership can heal old wounds, and sometimes the music you make together is worth fighting for. Featuring late-night rehearsals, musical collaboration as love language, supportive found family, emotional healing, first kisses in moonlit courtyards, and a hopeful ending that promises continued connection. Perfect for readers who love: musician romance, piano and violin duet, late-night settings, creative collaboration, slow burn emotional connection, vulnerability and healing, supportive friend characters, first kisses, music as metaphor, tender romance, emotional intimacy, sweet rather than steamy, artistic characters, performance anxiety, long distance relationship setup, and love stories about finding your creative partner and romantic partner in the same person.
