Reggie Addison has spent most of his life running. From commitment. From expectations. From anything that threatened to matter more than the next city, the next show, or the next night. As drummer for Fractured Butterfly, he's built a life on noise, adrenaline, and never staying in one place long enough to get hurt. Then Beth Harlow happened. The band's new sparky is stubborn, independent, and completely unimpressed by his charm. What starts as constant clashes and sharp-tongued banter slowly becomes something neither of them expected. Something real. But Beth knows better than anyone that loving someone doesn't mean they'll stay. Haunted by loss and determined to protect her heart, she's spent years keeping people at arm's length. Now, as old ghosts resurface and life on the road threatens to pull them apart, Reggie must prove he's more than the man everyone expects him to be. Because the biggest leap of faith isn't falling in love. It's convincing the woman you love that you're not going anywhere. Between the Spark and the Beat is an emotional rock-and-roll romance about grief, healing, found family, and discovering that sometimes home isn't a place-it's a person.
