Standing In The Sun (The 8th Wonder #4)

Little Lunar is on the verge of greatness. A rising rapper with the world at his feet, he’s chasing more than just fame though- he’s searching for himself. Every song, every verse is an attempt to piece together the man he’s supposed to be, but no matter how hard he tries, something is missing. His father, the legend he never got to meet, is a ghost haunting his success. Lunar has the talent, the attitude, and the bad-boy persona that keeps his name buzzing, but deep down, he’s just a boy looking for a man.

Ahvi doesn’t have time for dreams. She’s a single mother trying to keep her son fed while her baby daddy is out in the streets, bringing home more problems than solutions. She was her father’s daughter—raised by a hardworking man who always made a way—but now he’s gone, and she’s left to fight a world that won’t stop taking from her.

When she finds an old phone buried in her daddy’s things, she has no idea it once belonged to Big Lunar, the father of the same rapper she hears all over the radio. Desperate for cash, she hits up Little Lunar, offering to sell him the one thing that might bring him closer to the man he never knew.

Their worlds collide so chaotically, it makes them question everything. Every little kismet shift in their world feels so divine— like something or someone was moving them on a board like chess pieces.

They weren’t supposed to meet.
They weren’t supposed to need each other.
But sometimes, the pieces we’re missing, find us in the most unexpected ways and leave us Standing In The Sun.

Standing in the Sun is an urban romance about love and finding yourself in the shadows of the past.
