Perfect Harmony by Nora Roberts (2011)

Two oldies, but goodies.

Unfinished Business (1992)
Vanessa was taken away from her home and on the road by her father to have a brilliant career as a pianist. When her father dies, she returns home to Maryland to figure things out, to understand why her mother broke off contact, to find what she really wants to do with the rest of her life. Brady, her high school love has returned home too, to work with and take over his father's medical practice. Obviously he woos her back and she finds where she belongs. There was a brief connection with another of Nora Roberts series set in fictional Cordinia, as Vanessa goes to play a concert there.

Local Hero (1988)
Hester and her son Radley move into an apartment where one of their neighbors is Mitch Dempsey, a writer of comic books. Radley worships him, as a comic book loving kid, and Mitch enjoys the boy's company, so becomes his main babysitter. Hester is cautious, thankful for the father figure Mitch provides, though a bit skeptical about his profession, but does not want to get involved if that will hurt her son in any way. Bit of a glimpse into the comic writing, producing and moving to movies world.
