Rule #1 of live sound: Keep the mix flawless and stay invisible.

Rory Quinn has survived twelve years in the ruthless music industry by hiding in the shadows. As a hyper-competent sound engineer, she prefers the safety of her mixing board to actual people. But her carefully guarded life implodes when she goes viral defending pop megastar Nico Vale—and accidentally lands the job as the lead audio engineer on Nico’s massive North American arena tour.

There's just one devastating catch.

Three years ago, Rory spent one rainy, unforgettable night in a festival sound tent with a beautiful, intoxicating stranger named 'Nia.' The physical connection was off the charts, but the woman vanished before dawn.

Now, walking into tour rehearsals, Rory realizes 'Nia' was a fake name. The stranger she hasn't been able to shake is Nico Vale herself—and now, she's Rory's boss.

Nico is drowning in label politics and suffocating under a carefully curated public image. The only time she’s ever felt truly seen was in the dark with Rory. Thrown together in the high-pressure cooker of a 24-city tour and sharing thin-walled tour buses, the professional distance between them doesn't just fray—it shatters.

But with a predatory label morality clause threatening Nico's creative control, giving in to their explosive chemistry could cost Nico her music—and destroy the career Rory bled to build.
