Breaking the Broadcast

When the truth is your only weapon, how much are you willing to risk?

Jack Alonso has spent his life chasing stories that matter, but when his relentless pursuit of political corruption puts his career—and his life—on the line, he’s forced to choose between the job he loves and the people he can’t live without. Across the world, Bridget D’Angelo is rebuilding her life after a corporate layoff, turning her family’s immigrant history into a novel that’s about to make waves.

A chance encounter in Sydney sparks a connection neither expected, but as Jack’s investigations draw dangerous enemies and Bridget’s literary star rises, the distance between them grows—both literally and figuratively. With threats mounting, visas expiring, and the world watching, Jack and Bridget must decide: can love survive when the stakes are this high, or will the cost of telling the truth be more than they can bear?

Breaking the Broadcast is a sweeping, contemporary love story about courage, legacy, and the power of speaking out—even when the world wants you silent.
