Through the Glory and the Mess

Emma Hartgrave wants one thing. To get past her breakup and forget the name Rick Bradley ever existed.

There's just one problem.

She's the frontwoman of the world's biggest band, the Hartgrave Tellers, and Rick Bradley is Hollywood's golden boy, newly cast as Superman. The media has no intention of letting either of them move on.

Liam Teller wants one thing too.

As lead guitarist, co-frontman, and the unofficial leader of the Hartgrave Tellers, Liam has spent years hiding what he really wants. Years pouring his heart into songs instead of speaking the truth. Years dancing around Emma on stage, trying not to collide with her and blow up everything they've built.

Now, after a turbulent hiatus and Emma's very public romance with Rick, the band is back together. Fresh off recording their sixth album, Revelations, they're heading into a whirlwind New York press tour packed with fashion galas, magazine covers, radio appearances, late-night interviews, and a career-defining performance on Saturday Night Live.

But the closer Emma and Liam get, the harder it becomes to ignore the tension that's been building between them for years.

And when Rick drops a bombshell that threatens everything Emma has worked to build and could trigger the scandal clause buried in the Hartgrave Tellers' predatory record contract, Emma is forced to decide what she wants, where she stands, and whether she's finally ready to stop staying silent.

Set against the glittering backdrop of modern fame, red carpets, sold-out arenas, and relentless media scrutiny, Through the Glory and the Mess is a sweeping rockstar romance about finding your voice, reclaiming your story, and choosing love even when it's messy.

Especially when it's messy.
