Counterpoint — Lauren E. Rico

Brilliant young pianist Alexandria is poised for classical music superstardom…until the night she unravels in front of thousands at her Carnegie Hall debut.Brilliant young pianist Nate is poised for classical music superstardom…until the night a horrific accident took away everything -- and everyone he loved.Now fate -- and a wily cowboy pianist named Wyatt -- have brought them both to Texas for a summer of intensive study and healing. And, though the two butt heads almost immediately, it's soon clear that, together, Alex and Nate possess a dazzling chemistry that eclipses anything they might have done alone.But the real test of their longevity as partners -- on stage and off -- comes when Alex's overbearing father threatens to destroy everything they've both worked so hard for. Painful choices must be made and lives will be changed forever.While Nate wrestles with the gut-wrenching guilt of his past, Alex is forced to confront the grim prospects for her future. And suddenly, each must decide if there is enough power in their music and enough courage in their hearts to breach the chasm between them.
