Broken Blvd.

On Hollywood Boulevard, the brightest lights cast the longest shadows.

Dylan English has always been the perfect heir-polished, privileged, and trapped beneath the crushing weight of a legendary last name. But on the night of his twenty-first birthday, something snaps. Walking away from the family empire, the performative expectations, and the future that was never really his, Dylan steps into the rain-soaked streets as nobody.

Just Dylan.

What starts as a quiet rebellion-anonymous nights in dive bars, a borrowed couch, and the thrill of being unseen-quickly becomes something far more dangerous. A charged handshake. A knee pressed under a brunch table. The slow, electric pull toward Jake, the sharp-eyed New Yorker who sees every crack in Dylan's carefully constructed armor.

As Dylan navigates fragile new friendships, the ghosts of his old life, and desires he was never allowed to name, he discovers that disappearing is easy. Staying hidden is impossible.

Raw, atmospheric, and unflinchingly honest, Broken Blvd. is a coming-of-age story about first love, found family, and the courage it takes to rewrite your own legacy-one rain-drenched night at a time.

For fans of Crash, Heated Rivalry, The Summer I Turned Pretty, Red, White & Royal Blue, and The Perks of Being a Wallflower.
