Heads and Tails

How did a sheltered girl from Carolina end up in a national scandal involving one of Hollywood's most powerful music couples? When want-a-be singer Bethany Opala tries out for a TV talent show, she is rejected. But then comes an amazing offer … a songwriter's dream. Bethany has the opportunity to learn and develop her skills with top music manager, Ryan Thompson. With a mutual passion for music and words, Bethany and Ryan's writing partnership develops into something more … something love songs are written about. And while it isn't wrong, it isn't right, at least in the public eye. Surrounded by secrecy and half-truths, Bethany doesn't know how much she should put up with. Especially, when one more rejection could scar her for good. Will her decision to leave not only Ryan, but the music business and California, come down to the toss of a coin?

The week was supposed to end with a white dress and promises. It didn't. Instead there was a black hearse. Bethany and Ryan's dream day is marred by the unexpected news of someone close to them passing away. More than ever, they need to lean on each other to help get through this devastating loss. But it won't be easy. Grief has its own timeline and also has a unique way of assigning blame … warranted or not. Not only is Bethany struggling with her own emotions, but she feels helpless when it comes to her role in the family. Is Ryan pulling away? Are the kids acting differently? And why would a fantastic career opportunity cause such anger and stress? Will their coin flip bring a happily ever after or a sad goodbye?
