In Harmony Blurb
The root of all madness is an unbearable truth...
  At seventeen, Willow Holloway’s life was torn apart. The happy, driven girl is gone, and she is
 left wracked by post-traumatic stress her body remembers even if she does not. When her father
 suddenly uproots the family from their posh penthouse in New York City to the tiny town of
 Harmony, Indiana, Willow becomes more untethered and lost under the weight of her secret. On
 a whim, she auditions for a part in the community theater’s production of Hamlet and
 unexpectedly wins the role of Ophelia—the girl who is undone by madness, and her love of
 Hamlet...
 Isaac Pierce is from the ‘wrong side of the tracks.’ The town bad boy. Girls pine for his attention
 and guys are in awe of him. That he’s an acting prodigy only adds to his charisma. Isaac utterly
 disappears into his characters; the stage is the only place he feels safe from his own traumatic
 home life. He wants nothing more than to escape to Broadway or Hollywood, and leave
 Harmony behind for good.
 No one can play Hamlet but Isaac, and when the director pairs him with Willow in acting class,
 they clash again and again—neither willing to open their hearts to anyone. But clashing leads to
 breaking, breaking leads to the spilling of terrible secrets, and soon Isaac and Willow find
 Shakespeare’s words mirroring their lives. When they are cruelly torn apart, neither know how
 this play will end—with madness and heartache? Or healing, love, and the discovery of who they
 are truly meant to be.
 In Harmony is a standalone NEW ADULT love story, and is intended for readers 18 and up.
 PLEASE NOTE, this book contains sensitive material such as physical abuse, and the aftermath
 of sexual assault (off the page). Reader discretion is advised.

 Excerpt

 “I’m so...not into being with someone right now,” Willow said with a nervous lilt to her words. “Not for a while, anyway.”
I heard a whisper on the breeze, or ever again. A heaviness in her eyes hinted she had lost something and had almost given up trying to find it.
She hasn’t given up, I thought, a fierce admiration welling in me. That’s why she’s doing the play. To find it again.
In that moment, I vowed to try to cut out all the egotistical bullshit and jealousy over Justin. The dance was out of range now anyway. I couldn’t ask her to go even if I wanted to. Which I didn’t. My job was to help her find what she was looking for in Hamlet, however I could. Even
 as it dented my eagerness to get the hell out of Harmony.
Willow shielded her eyes from the sun and squinted at me. “So what about you?” “What about me?”
“Do you like anyone?” she asked, her voice a half tone higher than usual. She laughed.
“That’s such a high school thing to ask.”
“No,” I said. “If all goes to plan, I’m leaving Harmony, remember? Stupid to start something
now.”
“Sure. Makes sense.”
A silence fell.
“Yeah, so I probably won’t go to the dance,” Willow said. “I’m not good in that kind of
situation anymore.”
“What kind of situation?”
She shook her head. “Never mind. I should get back.”
Willow started to scoot down off the block. I held my hand out to her to help. She hesitated
for a fraction of a second and then took it. I held my other hand out and she took that too. I steadied her as she hopped down and then we were standing face to face. Close enough I could
 see her pale blue eyes had lighter shards of blue in them, like a topaz. Close enough to smell the sweetness of her breath—coffee tinged with sugar. Close enough to dance if we wanted.
“Thanks,” Willow said, gazing up at me. “Sure,” I said.
I still held her hands. She didn’t let go. “So,” she breathed, still not moving. “Yeah.”
I glanced down at our hands. I hadn’t touched something this soft and good in ages. The sleeve of her coat bunched up and I spied a black mark on the inside of her forearm, close to her wrist. Willow drew in a breath as I turned her hand over. An X, about the size of a quarter, was stark on her pale skin.
She tugged her hands away. “I really need to get back.”
 Every instinct cried out to take her hand again, to ask her what the X meant. To lick my thumb and erase it off her skin. I didn’t know what it meant but the sight of it made my stomach feel heavy.
“Willow—”
“I doodle when I’m bored. I told you that.” Her voice was sharp but her smile wobbled.
 “Let’s go.” We walked the short distance back to town wordlessly. Back in front of the theater, Willow shouldered her bag and glanced around. “Thanks for today. I think Martin would be happy with our progress.”
“I do too.”
God, would he, I thought.
“So, I guess I’ll see you Monday?” she said.
“You have a ride home?”
“Oh, uh...” She still wouldn’t meet my eyes. “I was thinking of walking.”
“To Emerson Hills?” I said. “That’s a mile and a half and it’s getting dark soon.” She raised her brows. “I’m not allowed to walk in the dark?”
 “You’re allowed,” I said, “but I don’t want you to.”
