Beats of the Heart by Charli B Rose
Before they can have a second chance, they have to live through their first love… and heartbreak.
Izzy ~
We shouldn’t have taken the risk. We should’ve stayed just friends. Best friends. But only friends. But our hearts were foolish. I’d loved him forever. So, three years ago when he offered what I always longed for, I grabbed it with both hands. But I couldn’t hold on tight enough. The beauty of love blinded me. I didn’t see it coming. Didn’t expect to lose everything. My friend. My heart. My art. My privacy. All of them casualties of love lost.
Dawson ~
Every beat of my heart sang her name. She was my muse. Without her, there’d be no music. I was riding the high of fame and fortune. I had it all—status, money, her. Until the thing I’d always wanted cost me the thing I’d always needed. Love’s song drowned out all the warnings. Now she was gone. So was the music. So was my will. I was left with only silence.
What happens when two hearts sharing one beat fall out of sync?

TwitterAbout the author:
I'm a reader and music lover, but I never imagined combining those loves into this. I took those two passions and started dreaming up stories that flowed with musical undercurrents.
As a romance reader, I'm a chaser of happily ever afters, so I promise I will deliver them to all the couples featured in my stories. (It may take them a while. Sometimes they don't do what I tell them to.) The heroes of my tales are sensitive, strong, sexy and swoon-worthy. And the heroines are smart, sometimes sassy, sweet and sincere. I promise some heat and some sweet.
What inspired you to write your book?
One night as I was trying to go to sleep, a new character started speaking to me in the form of a letter. It was Izzy. So, I immediately set out writing Dawson and Izzy’s story, putting other projects on hold.
Here is a short sample from the book:
Wrapping his hand around the back of my neck, his fingers threaded through my hair as he pressed my mouth to his. The instant our lips collided the emptiness inside my chest filled up. His free hand gripped my hip and nudged me closer. Recklessly, I threw one leg across his lap, so that I straddled him. Pressure at the small of my back urged me closer to him. Oblivious to our surroundings, I poured every ounce of love, longing and desperation into the kiss. Words had never been my strong suit, but hopefully my body language spoke volumes.
