Hit It Harder

BLUFF CITY STEREO: The Homecoming Album Novella Series

De: Nikole Diamond

Knox Wilder's hands can bring a stadium to its feet. The rest of him hasn't been alive in months.

He's the drummer. The foundation. The guy behind the kit that nobody looks at while the frontman gets the glory and the second guitarist works the crowd. Knox holds the rhythm for everyone else. Offstage, his own pulse flatlines.

Sage Aldridge owns the new tattoo shop on Main Street. She has ink of her own, confident hands, a sharp mouth, and zero interest in being starstruck. Knox walks in on impulse. She has a cancellation. He sits in her chair, and for the first time since he can remember, his body goes still.

The buzzing of the needle. Her hands on his skin. The enforced intimacy of being held in place while someone marks you permanently.

He communicates through rhythm and pressure. She communicates through art and touch. Neither of them is much for talking. What happens between them doesn't need words.

Hit It Harder is the second book in the Bluff City Stereo series. Each novella adds a track to the album. Each track starts with a love story.
