From the moment Quinn Montgomery sat behind her first snare and cymbal set, she was destined for fame and glory. As Hush Note's infamous female drummer, she sets the rhythm for the band's chart-toppings hits. When people tap their feet to their music, it's to her pulse. Quinn is content to live in a world away from her family and the cage of her youth. Her only regret is leaving Graham Hayes behind without a goodbye. No matter how many sold-out stadiums she plays, no matter how many crowds sing her songs, his voice haunts her when the music stops. When a family tragedy forces her to return home to Montana, she plans to leave the second she's paid her respects. But seeing Graham again turns her life upside down. As a boy, he wasn't able to make her stay. As a man, he might be her future. If they can mend their rifts and find solace in the refrains.

Rifts and Refrains

Lover of Romance 

If anyone got to be mad, it was me. Because I might have been the one to leave, but he’d abandoned me when I’d needed him most.

When had I never loved that woman? Maybe that kiss had woken me up. Maybe it had made me realize how goddamn lonely I’d been without her. I had Colin, but there was a corner of my heart that would always belong to Quinn. I should have followed her nine years ago. Because now it was too late.

“You set me free once, Graham. You let me fly. Now I’m coming home.” If a home is what she wanted, a home is what she’d find.

“Marry me.” I ran my knuckles over her cheek. “Count stars with me until we’re too old to climb in the back of my truck.

I was the first to walk on stage. I sat on my stool and scanned the crowd, finding Graham’s eyes. This was the magic. Not the fame or the fortune but finding his face in a crowd of thousands and letting the rest of the world fade away. Maybe our melody hadn’t come easily. There’d been times when our rhythm had been out of sync. None of it mattered. Because our beauty was in the refrain.
