Chaos in Bloom: Origins
They were built to break records—not each other’s hearts.
The contract said don’t fall in love. The music made it impossible.
Stolen kisses and First Album Chaos—How The Hartgrave Tellers began.
“Slow the burn,” I echoed, tilting my head. “You writing another song, Hartgrave?”
- Liam Teller
“Liam, I just... I can’t believe it’ll be for nothing. When we write, when we make music—it feels bigger than us. Like it means something. I don’t think it ends in obscurity.”
- Emma Hartgrave
When the chemistry is off the charts and the stakes are sky-high… how do you not fall for the one thing that could break everything?
What happens when your big break comes with a heartbreak clause?
Emma Hartgrave wasn’t looking for a band—and she definitely wasn’t looking for Liam: a brooding British guitarist with too many tattoos and far too much magnetism behind those emerald-green eyes. But when she and her sister Susie are discovered by seasoned music managers Wade and Andy, they’re swept up into a whirlwind plan to build the next legacy band.
Suddenly, Emma finds herself fronting a rising alt-rock group on the edge of a record deal—and everything changes.
Together, they make music that crackles with energy and unspoken longing. The chemistry in the studio is undeniable. On stage, it’s electric. Off stage… it’s a minefield of rules, contracts, and carefully guarded hearts.
When the band signs with a major label and begins their meteoric rise, the pressure mounts: write the hits, stay marketable, hold it together. And absolutely—under no circumstances—fall for each other.
But Emma and Liam?
They’re already halfway there.
Torn between the music and the mess, the image and the intimacy, they’ll have to ask themselves: Can they survive the spotlight without destroying everything they’ve built?
