An M/M friends-to-lovers rockstar romance set in the 80s music industry.

Izvi was born to be a rock star. Liam was born to make sure he actually becomes one. Together with Liam's girlfriend, they form Velvet Concord - a garage band with a once-in-a-generation singer at the front.

But when Velvet Concord explodes, the industry doesn't want Izvi. It wants a straighter, cleaner, more marketable version of him.
