She came to the mountains for silence. He came to make noise.

When Beth rents a mountainside cabin to focus on her art, the last person on earth she wants sharing her retreat is a drummer from a metal band. Finn is big, bearded, and tattooed, irritating and irresistible in equal measure. But when a storm forces them together, Beth and Finn soon find the tension between them is enough to shake the mountain to rubble, and that their hearts may not beat to such different rhythms after all.
