The Music Between Us
It was supposed to be a hook-up.
It wasn’t supposed to be forever.
Zachariah Baxter is used to playing alone.
Raised on the road by a grandfather who taught him to fiddle, he learned early not to count on anyone staying for long. Whitebark County is just another stop. A few sets at the fair. No promises.
Then Sheriff’s Deputy Colton McAllen shows up to listen.
Zach’s been watched before. This is the first time he’s wanted to be seen.
Colton has roots—a badge, family land, a life built on not wanting too much. He’s never been the guy someone stays for. Falling for a traveling musician who’s already planning his next exit isn’t smart.
It isn’t temporary either.
For the first time, Zach starts to believe he doesn’t have to leave. For the first time, Colton considers risking everything he’s built for someone who might not stay.
Then the danger Zach ran from catches up—and protecting him stops being part of the job.
Because loving Zach means stepping into the line of fire.
And if Colton falls, it won’t just break Zach’s heart.
It will prove he was never meant to be loved in the first place.
