Downbeat |n|: The first beat in a measure, often the strongest. Fame,
fortune, traveling to different cities across the country…I’m living the dream.
As the drummer for the Lightning Strikes, it’s my job to hook you in and keep
you coming back for more. It’s my craft, my calling, what I’m a master at.
Even with all that, I’m still just a normal guy who wants to eat at food trucks and lounge on the couch, playing video games until I can’t see straight. Everything was perfect.
At least I thought it was, until a blonde bombshell walked into my life and made me question everything I thought I knew. I want her. I need her. Only, she’s afraid of the spotlight, afraid of what it’ll do to her and the ones she loves. The wall around her heart is keeping me out, but I know before long I will break down her barriers. She needs to know that there is more to us than what she sees, that this chemistry between us is our downbeat to forever. All the guys in the band have their happily ever after. Maybe it’s time for mine.

Excerpt
“Do you listen to music?” he asks out of the blue.
I blink a few times to process his strange question. “Uh,
yeah? Who doesn’t?”
Paxton chuckles. “You’d be surprised. What do you listen
to?”
“Country,” I say, without hesitation.
He scrunches his nose up, like he’d smelled something funny.
“I said music.”
“That is music.” I laugh. “What do you listen to. Wait, let
me guess.” I tap my lips. “Not ska since you’re obviously not a native
Californian.”
“The accent give me away?” Again with the head tilt and
smirk.
“Pretty much.” I’ll keep the fact that I love it to myself.
“You don’t strike me as the rap-type either.”
“Are you trying to analyze me?”
Another wave of heat coats my cheeks. “No, just using
deductive reasoning.”
“Uh huh. How about I save you the trouble. I’m a rock guy.
Alternative, to be exact. Lots of old school mixed with new.”
I stare at him blankly. “Huh?”
“Alice in Chains?”
Nothing.
