BEAUTIFUL CHAOS
While most seventeen-year-olds work part-time delivering pizzas or whipping up frappuccinos, Brady O'Connell's job is a little less conventional. Helping his dad with the family 'business' is a responsibility he doesn't take lightly, especially when thousands of dollars are being exchanged. There are rules to be followed, timetables to be kept. But when his best friend Jay gets backstage concert tickets, and business interferes with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet their favorite band, Brady decides to break the rules, just one time.
And one time is all it takes to send his life spinning out of control. When an envelope full of cash ends up in the wrong hands-specifically in the hands of a pretty red-head named Vivienne-things get messy in a hurry. Where Vivienne goes, a whole lot of chaos seems to follow.
But sometimes...chaos can be a beautiful thing.
