Broken Strings: When the Music Stops, Desire Plays On

In a town still haunted by its past, Eli runs a quiet bar and keeps his distance from the wreckage left by Damon Cole the rock star whose fall from fame shattered more than his career. When Damon returns, worn down and searching for something real, old wounds flare to life. Eli promised himself he’d never let Damon back in. Yet every look, every late-night conversation, pulls them closer, blurring the line between anger and longing. Damon’s voice, once the sound of everything Eli lost, starts to fill the empty spaces again. But trusting him feels like standing too close to the fire. As they rebuild the stage where it all began, music stirs memories neither can bury. Forgiveness might tune the strings, but love demands something harder vulnerability, courage, and the belief that what broke can still play true. When the final note fades, will they find harmony or fall back into silence?

And as part of the Collide! series, this story joins a collection of fierce rivals who discover that desire always wins when sparks collide.

When passion collides with defiance, nothing stays untouched. Collide! gathers five standalone enemies-to-lovers romances where pride clashes hard and desire cuts even harder. From wedding aisles to boardrooms, from small-town bars to arenas buzzing with pressure, each story shows just how thin the line between love and hate can be.

Tempers flare, walls crack, and every fight edges toward something neither side can walk away from. Built on sharp banter, raw tension, and heat that refuses to cool, these romances deliver high-energy battles where losing might mean falling the hardest.

Five stories. Endless sparks. One question how long can enemies resist the pull?
