Driving Beats (Untamed Coaster)

One introverted guitarist with a retired heart.
One uncontrollable, rebellious stylist.
And one perfectly raked Zen Garden about to be utterly destroyed.

At thirty-one, guitarist Coop O’Shea is the steady, meditative backbone of Untamed Coaster who guards a private past—a life-altering betrayal that left him convinced his own happily-ever-after was already behind him. He’s content with his quiet, celibate existence until a baggage mishap upends his world.

Enter Nese Dalton, the band’s youngest, loudest, and most infuriatingly beautiful stylist, assigned to help him rebuild his wardrobe.

Nese doesn't do “steady,” and she certainly doesn’t do “rules.” She’s spent years overcoming a dark past, fighting too hard for her freedom to let anyone close. When a temporary housing arrangement puts her in Coop's personal space, she kicks things off by dragging her heavy luggage straight through his prized Zen Garden.

Living under the same roof, their opposites-attract chemistry quickly becomes impossible to ignore. Beneath Coop's guarded exterior, Nese finds a deeply protective man who makes her feel safe for the first time.

When the walls between them lower, Coop's old fears resurface. Positive he's already had his shot at love, he begins pushing her away. But Nese refuses to be an afterthought, forcing Coop to decide whether holding onto the past is worth losing the woman who could change his future.
