Because...Broken

Two households, a pair of star-crossed lovers, and one ticked-off cousin on a mission to tear them apart.

Olivia Henderson dreams of becoming a professional singer, but her first public performance is nearly blown by a random panic attack. Enter Noah Dickerson, one of the cutest boys at school--if you like that artsy, troubled soul kind of guy. He pops up out of nowhere and somehow has all the right words to help Olivia get on that stage.

Noah believes Olivia might be the one girl he could truly love. Their friends think differently, and Olivia's cousin, Kenny, is determined to ruin them. Convinced that Noah's family was somehow involved in his sister's death, Kenny will do anything to keep Noah from hurting Olivia... including spreading rumors about what Noah did at a party last spring. Since Kenny wasn't actually at the party, the rush is on to find out who is feeding him distorted information. As the rivalry intensifies, Olivia has to juggle loyalties between her family and her boyfriend, and Noah has to face some hard truths about himself.

In this contemporary Romeo and Juliet-inspired story, with a dose of mystery, can love survive when darkness and light collide?
