For the Record

Mackenzie Waters is a pop princess and Sam Blaze a punk rockstar. Their bands once clashed on stage, and the rivalry made them the most notorious pair in the music scene. Off stage, the tension between them grew into something more, until both bands collapsed and the idea of Mackenzie and Sam went down with them.

Two years on, Sam has given up the rockstar life for a quiet one, raising a son Sam did not know about until recently. Mackenzie has had surgery that altered her voice, and she now sings only under a pseudonym.

Their careers can be revived in one way: a joint comeback album. Fans are thrilled, and both of them have a lot to lose. To make the record, they have to drop the old rivalry and learn to work side by side.

The old attraction flares up again while new secrets come out, and each sets off consequences neither expects. This is a romance between former enemies, told with a music-industry backdrop and a second-chance feel. The tone is light and warm, with the comeback project driving the pace and the secrets adding tension.
