*The 2nd standalone novel in The Heartbeat Series* Maddie Three things are more important to me than anything else: family, baking, and fun. So when I saw Keller Cannon, drummer of LP-45, perform at a charity concert, I knew he'd be the perfect guy to have heaps of fun with. It was temporary. No strings attached. A pretty damn perfect arrangement if you ask me. Until it wasn't. Until being with him highlighted just what I was missing. But having more wasn't an option. He made that perfectly clear. Keller Music is my escape. When I'm behind my drums, I'm granted temporary respite from my demons and a small reprieve I don't deserve. Until Maddie. Maddie is a distraction I can't afford and crave at the same time. I drown in her and she breathes life into me. She offers peace--the comfort and promise of a life free from the torment. But I don't deserve her. And I can't need her like I do. I just can't.
