Rec Me: Romances with musicians

I was at the Proms earlier this week, and at The Chicks last month and it’s given me a yearning for some romances with musicians. The Chicks made me want one with backing musician who is secretly in love with his lead singer, who only sees him as a friend, and the Proms made me wonder about whether there are any orchestra-y ones – but I’m not sure what that would involve. I read one the other month with a concert pianist, but it took a turn into romantic suspense that wasn’t what I wanted it to do! So maybe it’s a soloist and the conductor of the orchestra they’re guest performing with? A bit like Sebastian and Veronica from Sadlers Wells but without the ballet or the bit where he ignores her for years because he doesn’t think she should have put her career over his performance. Even though he would have done the same if the situation was reversed. Not that I’m averse to ballet related romances either if that’s all I can get. Or opera. But no eating disorders or fat shaming. That’s all I ask.

Hit me with your suggestions in the comments pretty please!
