About this series
Getting over your ex is tough when he lives right down the hall…and tougher still when he's in your bed.
He wasn't Andrew when we dated–he was a curvy, black-haired beauty I locked eyes with in a club. I didn't realize it was serious when we stayed up all night talking about music. Nor when he was spending more nights at my place than his own. We fell into a rhythm I missed completely, and as a percussionist, that's embarrassing.
Our break-up wrecked me more than I've been willing to admit. But when my ex shows up on the porch in the middle of the night, soaked and homeless, I can't turn him away. He needs a place to stay, a job–I can give him that, at least. But when he wants me to hold his hand during his first tattoo and cook meals with him, fall asleep holding each other…that's different.
Can I put my fragile heart on the line again, knowing how it ended last time? Or do I owe it to myself to face the music and see if that rhythm is still there?
Face the Music is the third book in the steamy Portland Symphony series, but can be enjoyed as a standalone. If you like early transition awkwardness, bad boys who learn to communicate, and a gender-affirming HEA, one-click this book now. CW for a coming out gone wrong, implied deadnaming, and discussion of religious trauma.

- Here Comes Treble: Portland Symphony Series, #1
1
How it started: I've casually dated my sister's friends for years–what can I say? She's got great taste in people. But Chance is apparently the best roommate in the world–he's quiet, thoughtful, and willing to put up with her chaotic ways, so this time, Hillary says it's hands off. No excuses. How it's going: I may have allowed myself to be seduced on their couch, and now he's calling me to come over to Netflix (musicals) and chill. I'm not sure what scares me more–my sister finding out that I broke her rule… or the way I'm falling head over heels for a nerd I've got no business wanting. Here Comes Treble is the first book in the Portland Symphony series, a steamy, low-angst, queer romance series set in Oregon. If you like a neurodiverse trans hero, a cis himbo who's scared of robots, found family, and a happily ever after, you'll love this book. It's not intended for readers under eighteen or readers who don't want to read explicit sex scenes. CW for the death of a pet fish and brief discussions about transphobia and police violence. This book was previously published under the title Acoustics and has undergone minor editing for style and content.
- High Strung: A Low-Angst NB/F Romance: Portland Symphony Series
You wanted a nemesis, Glenn Rasmussen? You got one. I've already failed their pottery class once, and when they wouldn't let me sign up for summer school, they officially went on my shit list. And that was before they ridiculously suggested that I might have ADHD. Yes, I'm still staring at their tattoos in class, and yes, their sense of style is enviable, and yes, when I hear them play their bass, my soul leaves my body a little bit. But that doesn't change anything; they're still annoying AF. Every attempt to be nice just ends up making things worse. I scraped together my first project and blew up my second one. My final project is still sitting on the wheel as the minutes tick down on our final class, and I don't know how to finish the damn thing. If I can't pass this class, I'm screwed. If I can't stay away from my instructor, I'm still screwed…but in a very different way. High Strung is the second book in the Portland Symphony series and is best enjoyed in order, but can be read as a standalone. If you like neurodiversity, bonding over thrift store fashion, and teacher-student without the power games, grab this low-angst, steamy, queer romance now! CW for mentions of transphobia regarding uniforms and past self-harm. This book was previously published under the title Harmony and has undergone minor edits for style and content.
