Standing Next to Her
Valeria Reyes has spent years making sure the world never knows who she is.
By day, she's one of Chicago's most respected motorcycle mechanics-a tattooed Afro-Latina with grease-stained hands, a love for vintage bikes, and a 4 a.m. gym routine that keeps her grounded. Her body tells her story: a full Harry Potter leg sleeve, celestial tattoos, tributes to BTS, and the heartbeat of her late father inked beneath a lyric that reminds her to keep moving forward.
By night, she's Luna Nova-the anonymous producer and songwriter behind some of the music industry's biggest hits. No cameras. No interviews. No face. Just music.
When Jungkook reaches out after hearing her work, asking for help on what will become his next album, she agrees to collaborate under one condition: they will never meet.
But fate has other plans.
A motorcycle accident, a sunrise gym overlooking Lake Michigan, midnight rides through Chicago, handwritten songs, and secrets too heavy to keep begin to blur the line between professional partners and something much more.
As two worlds collide, Valeria must decide whether risking her carefully guarded anonymity is worth the possibility of finding a love she never believed was meant for her.
Because sometimes...
The person you've been searching for has been standing next to you all along.
