Riley Bennett never wanted the spotlight. As a quiet, determined assistant, she only hoped to learn, work hard, and stay out of trouble. But when a single moment reconnects her with childhood friend - now rising star - Malachi Barton, the world suddenly knows her name.
What starts as a secret bond quickly explodes into viral headlines, tabloid scandals, and invasive whispers of "firefly girl." The world questions her worth. Amanda, Malachi's ruthless publicist, demands Riley disappear. And stalkers push their love story to dangerous edges.
But Riley isn't the same girl who once hid behind shelves and firefly jars. With Malachi by her side - steady, stubborn, and reckless for her - she learns to stand in her own light.
From stolen rooftop kisses to brutal betrayals, from trembling speeches to promises beneath firefly skies, Shine Anyway is a story of love that refuses to be silenced.
Because sometimes, the brightest lights are born in the darkest nights.
