BLURB:

He likes peace and quiet.

When straight-laced, no-nonsense lawyer Mark Monteiro moves back into his old apartment while his home is being renovated, he isn’t ready for the gut punch of grief that comes from living in the place he repaired with his late father. The memories threaten the control he’s worked so hard to maintain over his life. When he runs into his new neighbor as she leaves for a night of clubbing, decked out in neon clothes and wild makeup, some of his bitterness boils over.

She’s always chasing the crescendo.

The last thing Solène Sinclair needs is a jerk for a neighbor. She met her jerk quota for the year with the manipulative ex-fiancé/business partner she caught cheating with her PR rep. Now the only thing she’s focused on is the DJ residency she booked at one of NYC’s hottest luxury nightclubs. Only it’s hard to avoid the grumpy neighbor when it turns out they have friends in common. And when her ex tries to sabotage her career with a lawsuit, Solène is forced to turn to Mark for help.

Two opposites on a collision course…

As their lives begin to intertwine at work and at home, an unexpected harmony takes shape between them. She shakes up his predictable existence, and he makes her feel safe after a lifetime of insecurity. But as long as she’s his client, they can’t give in to the chemistry sizzling between them.

Funny, feisty, and fiercely authentic—BEHIND THE BEAT delivers heartfelt characters, sweet with plenty of heat, and a hero who looks good in a suit.
