Chapter 1

Being a Broadway actor is one heck of a ride. Derek knows that better than anyone. His world-renowned role as Enso in the hit musical Chain Breaker has connected him with his two new best friends, Oliver and Hannah, who are now in New York studying theatre. And Derek isn't about to let some stomach pain ruin his chances of giving them a proper welcome to the city... or his chance to get in cahoots with Hannah's roommate, Morgan Lane.

That is, until his appendix nearly kills him.

Trapped in the hospital with no understudy, Derek eagerly hands over the reins of his Broadway role to Oliver while trying to build a relationship with Morgan.

Being in the hospital is never fun, but when you're Derek Anderson, it's never boring.
