For Jax Hall, all-but-dissertation in mathematics, slinging drinks and serenading patrons at a piano bar is the perfect remedy for months of pandemic anxiety. He doesnโ€™t expect to end up improvising on stage with pop violinist Aria Darvish, but the attraction that sparks between them? Thatโ€™s a mathematical certainty. If he can get Ari to act on it, even better.

Ari hasnโ€™t written a note, and his album deadline is looming. Then he meets Jax, and suddenly he canโ€™t stop the music. But Ari doesnโ€™t know how to interpret Jaxโ€™s flirtingโ€”is making him a drink called Sex with the Bartender a serious overture?

Jax jumps in with both feet, the only way he knows how. Ari is wonderful, and Jax loves having a partner whoโ€™s on the same page. But Ariโ€™s struggles with his parentsโ€™ expectations, and Jaxโ€™s with the wounds of his past, threaten to unbalance an otherwise perfect equation. Can they prove their double act has merit, or does it only work in theory?
