A Little Out of Tune

A heartfelt BBW slow-burn romance about finding love, music, and courage in a small-town stage built for second chances.

Tori DeLeon used to believe her voice was too much—too loud, too emotional, too visible for the world that laughed when one viral video turned her into a punchline. Now, five years later, she’s a high school choir teacher content to hide behind her students and a cardigan collection that could double as armor. Music is safe when it belongs to someone else.

When the school hires Nate Wilder, a tattooed, soft-spoken sound engineer with a past in touring bands, Tori’s carefully tuned routine hits feedback. He’s the opposite of everything she expects: patient where she’s guarded, quiet where she overthinks, steady where she trembles. He calls her voice extraordinary. She assumes he’s teasing—until he keeps showing up to prove he isn’t.

As a district concert crisis forces them to collaborate, their banter becomes its own rhythm, a harmony of tension and affection that terrifies them both. Nate’s drawn to Tori’s unfiltered passion, the way she feels everything out loud. Tori’s drawn to Nate’s stillness—the rare kind that listens without trying to fix. Together, they rebuild more than sound equipment. They rebuild what it means to be heard.

But when gossip, shame, and an old wound resurface, Tori must decide if she’s ready to risk being visible again. And Nate must learn that saving someone doesn’t mean silencing them.

A Little Out of Tune is a slow-burn contemporary romance that celebrates imperfection and presence over perfection. With humor, heart, and a quietly powerful sensuality, it’s the story of two people learning that real love doesn’t demand quiet—it makes space for every note.

Readers who love emotionally rich BBW romance, small-town slow burns, music-infused love stories, and characters who earn their joy will fall hard for Tori and Nate. Because sometimes, the most beautiful songs are the ones that stay a little out of tune.
