WHEN THE MUSIC DIES Blurb: A tomboy wasn't Noah's type. In fact, nobody knew what he liked. While his bandmates talked endlessly about girls, Noah remained completely uninterested. Handsome, talented, and dangerously charming, yet romance was the one thing he seemed to have zero interest in. Until he met Mitchell. Crazy, boyish, and capable of driving anyone insane, Mitchell is the last girl anyone would expect Noah to fall for. She doesn't even belong at Vantage Sound Industry - she's only there by chance. To either advance her rapping skills, learn composure from Adrian Cole, the strictest legend in Toronto, or leave Toronto forever. Mitchell and Noah's first encounters are anything but romantic. It's war. Avoid me, he says. Avoid me too, jerk, she yells. But somewhere between the arguments, the stolen glances, the kneeling under Toronto sky for ten hours, the teacup that shattered, the songs they never meant to write together on the cold floor of Studio A, something begins to shift. What they don't know is that Adrian Cole, the forty-year-old legend who built Vantage from nothing and has never signed an artist in his entire career, has no intention of signing them now. The five boys are part of a plan. A lie he's spent years building. He didn't account for Mitchell. And Mitchell has always been good at one thing: turning a perfectly organised plan into beautiful chaos. Some love stories begin when everything else falls silent. But what happens when the music dies?
