Rhythm Of The Rain — Gemini Judson

Annalee Wells is innately programmed to keep a constant rhythm. She'd been a competitive drummer in college and it was the best time of her life. She high-stepped through her university years and planned a bright future in veterinary medicine. Her future veered off course when her father was stricken ill. She went home to help him die and her rhythm has been off ever since.

When a fun-loving golden retriever enters her pet-grooming salon with a handsome man on the other end of the leash, her heart plays a forgotten cadence. She's immediately smitten with the dog, and a little star struck when she learns that her new client, Tango, is the drum major for the best drum and bugle corps in the Midwest. When he asks her to join the notably all-male group, she's blown away.

Is this the very thing that will bring the heartbeat back to her life? She'd let go of all her dreams when her dad died. Maybe Tango and the Blue Devil's drums could bring them back.
