Breaking Strings (Alternate) - Paperback

by Becca Seymour (Author)

Rafe Ortiz lives for the stage. Music is the only thing that's ever made sense-until Oliver Marshall, the university's golden-boy basketball captain with a quiet smile and a storm behind his eyes, walks into his life and knocks everything off-key. Rafe isn't supposed to fall for anyone, especially not someone with a future as carefully scripted as Ollie's. But inspiration doesn't take notes, and soon Rafe's lyrics all sound like him.

Ollie doesn't have room for mistakes. On court he's calm, controlled, the leader everyone depends on. Off court, his life is a maze of parental expectations, public image, and the growing truth he can't deny: Rafe sees him in ways no one else ever has. And wanting him feels both impossible and inevitable.

When Rafe's band catches the attention of the industry and Ollie enters the biggest tournament of his life, their worlds threaten to tear apart just as they're learning how to fit together. Success is coming for both of them, but so is the spotlight.

And some loves are too powerful to hide forever.
