Sparks fly when a piano genius and a Hollywood heartthrob are thrown together for a charity performance in this “swoony, joyful rom-com” (Entertainment Weekly).

Quito Cruz is a genius piano player and composer with Broadway dreams, but he’s not quite there yet. The problem is that, ever since that night in college, his inspiration—pretty-boy jock Emmet Aoki—has been completely MIA.

Now Quito’s dad wants him to put on a charity performance in his hometown. And there’s one hella big string attached: convince Emmett—now one of Hollywood’s hottest celebrities—to perform.

It’s all shaping up to be the biggest musical fiasco of Quito’s life. Especially when Emmett agrees to attend, and Quito realizes that the undeniable vibe between them is stronger than ever. Because there’s nothing simple about falling for a movie star . . . even when he’s pitch-perfect.
