In Tune Out of Sync Kate Forest

No one wants to play second fiddle in love. Veronica "Ronnie" Lukas has one dream: playing violin with the New York Philharmonic. She'll do whatever she can to hide her dyslexia and inability to read music, because nothing, not even sexy and talented Scott Grossman, will stand in her way. Since he first tucked a violin under his chin, Scott's tics caused by Tourette's Syndrome quieted. His talent has thrust him into the harsh spotlight, becoming a reluctant poster child for living with Tourette's. When Scott wins first chair of a small regional orchestra, Ronnie begrudgingly accepts second. She wants to hate the humble man who is disarmingly open about his disability. Instead, she falls for his heavenly music-and toe-curling kisses. Scott is smitten with the brilliant woman who doesn't treat him with kid gloves, although he wishes she didn't hide her dyslexia from the world. There's only one spot open in the New York Philharmonic, but Scott and Ronnie find it's not the competition but their differing views that come to a crescendo-secrets versus truth, spotlight versus shadows. Finding their rhythm is tough when they're each marching to their own beat.
