Avery Jennings and Zach Griffith are far from normal. In fact everyone sees them as polar opposites, but are they really? Avery's the lead singer/songwriter of Burning Red. Zach's the lead singer/songwriter of The Rebels. Seeing the similarities yet? Both with international super stardom, mega talent, and (of course) astronomical egos to match their sarcastic, witty, and suave (well in Zach's case) personalities, and band mate drama, what happens when these two bands get stuck in one recording studio in the middle of nowhere? Well you've got a whole lot of personality clashes, ego breaking, sort of songwriting, and maybe... just maybe... a little bit of romance?

You and Me (Plus Everyone In Between Us)
17-almost-18-year-old Ezra Thompson is tired of two things. First, is constant chatter about Dilemma, an all-boy rock band, led by the supposedly-dreamy frontman Andre Robinson that somehow has a universal grip on every teenager in the world. Personally, Ezra doesn't see the appeal. Second, being in the shadow of her more smart, successful, and popular twin brother Emmet. Ezra couldn't ask for a better life. The thing is, Ezra, can sing. Like really sing. Only her parents who are occasionally proud of her, treat it as a juvenile hobby and she could never sing in front of people. So for now, her shampoo bottles get front-row access to her once-a-night concert in the shower. But when Ezra's younger sister, Maria, signs her up for a singing reality show called Finding Solstice, she is both angry and grateful. To her surprise, she passes the audition and is invited to Los Angeles for the show. Suddenly immersed in the cutthroat music industry, Ezra faces a whirlwind competition against fame-hungry singers, all fighting tooth and nail for the same prize. Amidst the manufactured forces of the industry, she must stand her ground and protect her passion for music. As if that wasn't enough, Ezra finds herself suddenly encountering a pretentious rockstar and is unexpectedly drawn to him. As the competition heats up, Ezra finds herself at the center of a brewing scandal that could end her career before it even starts. The pressure is on, and Ezra is torn between her passion for music and the fear of being dragged down. The stakes are high, and people are unforgiving, but Ezra knows that her music is worth fighting for. With her future on the line, she must navigate the twists and turns of the music industry and stay focused on what really matters: her music and her dreams.Complete

Falling Waters
The crowd was chanting so loud that they could be heard in the furthest lot, at the opposite end of the venue. The band hadn't even arrived yet, even though they were supposed to have been there before the show even had started, but the crowd was wild with anticipation. There wasn't one silent body in the stadium. A few crew members raced by as the band's manager, Emily Green, was waiting anxiously for them to arrive, pacing the floor behind the stage. She looked out the curtain once more to see an almost angry crowd. She had been calling Scarlet almost obsessively, blowing up her phone with unread voicemails going straight to her inbox. *** Scarlet Rein is not so popular at school, but she finds herself the photographer of a well known band, Falling Waters. Publicly hated, but secretly has a side job that could make her the most successful in the providence, if it were to be known. Colter Thorn and his group, Falling Waters, are the newest and hottest band in all of Alberta, Canada. With killer songs and an amazing photographer, they seem to be unstoppable and growing fast. But being their photographer isn't the secret that Rein is keeping, but the fact that she is the reason the band is even a band. When Falling Waters is up for an incredible contract, their manager, Emily Green, knows that Scarlet's secret has to be kept at all costs, even if that means Scar and Colt have to fake date. With all the romantic outings to keep up their act, it was more than obvious something would happen between them, but will their obsession with one another harm the band? Will Scarlet's secret come out? Can they have a normal relationship in the spotlight?Complete
