Sometimes the people who hurt you the most are the ones who pledged to love you forever. Sometimes it takes someone new to help you rediscover what it’s supposed to feel like.
Background Music is so dear to me. A novel of healing, rediscovery, the gentle tide pulling two people back together. A novel that follows in its poetic predecessors’ footsteps. It’s one I turn to to reread, to marvel at stories and the way they stay with us, become so vivid in our hearts and minds.
Background Music is Book 2 of the Muse & Music Series. It can be read as a standalone.
“You’re more than background music for someone else’s life.”
Katarina Roberts wants to move on—and for the men of her past to let her. So, the shop owner keeps to herself, staying busy with the day-to-day tasks of keeping her store afloat in the heart of the Ozarks.
But the sound of a knock on her bedroom window changes everything.
“You never truly know how you will react to the demons in your life until you are face to face with them.”
Answering that knock leads to Reese Taylor: the man who spends his nights as the lead singer of the band New Leaf, while wanting to turn over one of his own.
“Take me home and take me without hesitation. Like I’m a song. Like I’ve never been a regret.”
What started as an encounter becomes more of an entanglement when a sense of safety disrupts their solitude. As their relationship deepens, echoes from a violent past threaten to break down everything they’ve rebuilt.
