Golden After Midnight
The world knows Silk Sonic for their timeless music, effortless chemistry and unforgettable performances.
But they don't know about Valentina Marie.
At twenty-six, the Italian-Monégasque singer has become just as famous for the headlines as she has for her voice. She owns homes across the world, disappears into exclusive clubs until sunrise, smokes to calm the noise in her head and drinks as though tomorrow doesn't exist. Every week, she's photographed with a different celebrity, leaving the media convinced she's Hollywood's biggest heartbreaker.
What no one sees is the woman behind the flashbulbs.
Orphaned at a young age, Valentina has spent years hiding her grief beneath designer dresses, expensive jewellery and reckless nights she can barely remember. The world thinks she's fearless. The truth is she's terrified of letting anyone get close enough to leave.
Then there are her bandmates.
Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak know the version of Valentina the cameras never will-the woman who laughs until she cries, writes songs at three in the morning and carries more pain than she lets on. As friendships deepen and feelings become impossible to ignore, the three find themselves caught between love, fame, jealousy and the relentless glare of the spotlight.
With paparazzi following every move, rumours threatening their careers and old wounds refusing to heal, they'll have to decide whether the greatest risk is falling in love... or never taking the chance at all.
Some stories are written in headlines.
Theirs is written after midnight.
