Harshville

No one ever said the music business was easy, but did it have to be this harsh?

High school senior Angie isn’t usually a secretive person, but when her idol launches a songwriting competition which her mother forbids her from entering, Angie decides to do it anyway. It’s not like her mother's the most honest person—for one, she never speaks about Angie’s absentee father. 

Besides, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity...possibly her lucky break. Well, hers and Nevada's. 

Nevada has an extraordinary voice, but also extra-ordinary looks. When Angie asks her to become her duet partner, Nev is surprised, but in a good way, in a way that makes her stomach tangle. 

Tennessee, Nev's older brother, is wary of her friendship with his fellow classmate, whom he finds both infuriating and infuriatingly sexy. Especially when he learns about the contest. Is the girl who’s got his heart beating way too fast interested in his family for the right reasons?

Against the glittery backdrop of Nashville’s music scene unfolds a story of betrayal and abandonment, of first love and acceptance, and of ties that go far beyond those made of blood.
