Backbeat Rhythm

Heavy metal backbeat vs. the classics. Bassist Kit Barlow doesn't have time for romance. He's holding down two jobs and playing in a heavy metal band -- while raising his seven-year-old son by himself. But when Ebon joins the Cub Scouts, Kit can't help but notice his group leader, Max Hill. Max is everything Kit likes in a man: tall, dark, and determined. The two men come up with a way to keep their nosy families from trying to set them up with every available man in the city: they'll pretend to be dating each other. In between the afternoon pool games and the Sunday mac 'n cheese, Kit and Max find their pretend romance is developing some real heat. There's only one problem now -- Kit finds out Max despises rock and roll music. How's a heavy metal rocker supposed to woo a man who only likes classical music? Can they make their relationship work, or will they find their differences hit a sour note?

“Mom, please.” Max wiped a hand over his suddenly-sweaty forehead. He had to stop thinking about Kit.

Renata squeezed past Max to set the potatoes on the table. “Mom’s right: you need to loosen up, brother. You act like an old man sometimes. All work and no play.”

“I play with the Scouts all the time.”

“Max, those are children.” Ariana put down the salad bowl. “You need to hang out with people your ownage. Have some fun for once.”

“Can we just have one meal where you four don’t gang up on me?”
