Dr. Indiana "Indie" Miller never believed in fairy tales. How could she? Everything she ever accomplished was paid for in blood, sweat, and will. Emancipated at sixteen, she put herself through medical school while juggling three jobs, and built a life around one simple truth-no one was coming to save her. Then her favorite patient introduces Indie to her grandson. And Teddy Williams is everything Indie never dared to dream of. Kind, steadfast, and completely devoted to her. He's the kind of man who notices the little things and looks at her like she's the only woman in the world. There's only one problem. Teddy's overbearing mother hates her. Thankfully, Nana Ellie is there to shield Indie from the worst of it, and despite the tension, Teddy and Indie fall deeper and deeper in love. Two years later, they're on the verge of forever and preparing to move to New Jersey for Indie's dream job at Bluewater Cancer Center. But when Nana Ellie dies, the woman who loved Indie like family is gone-and Teddy's family begins to close ranks. His mother, Dawn, has spent Teddy's entire life making herself the center of it, and she has no intention of letting Indie take her place. Every mispronounced name, every crossed boundary, every cruel little comment is designed to prove one thing-Indie does not belong with him. As the pressure builds and the disrespect becomes impossible to ignore, Teddy finds himself caught between the family he was raised to put first and the woman he loves more than anything. He chooses wrong. And he loses Indie. Without her, Teddy is forced to face the truth of his choices. That his mother's love was never love at all, it was enmeshment. And if he wants any chance of winning Indie back, he'll have to do more than apologize. He'll have to become the man she deserved all along. Because Indie Miller is done waiting for a fairy tale. This time, she's going to make one for herself.

He saw her when no one else did and that was where everything began. Seventeen year old Elara Finch has learned the art of silence. At home, she hides behind smiles; at school, she disappears into crowded corridors and half-finished sentences. Her twin sister shines, her friends laugh, and her teachers barely notice when her voice trembles. Until Rowan Hale does. Quiet, observant, and new to Ashborne Sixth Form, he sees what others overlook the way Elara flinches at sudden noise, the exhaustion behind her steady answers. But seeing is only the beginning. Some truths can't be spoken aloud, and some kindnesses are dangerous to accept. In the noise of Ashborne's halls, two people on opposite sides of silence begin to find each other-slowly, cautiously, one glance at a time. A story of hidden bruises, quiet resilience, and the strange, fragile hope that grows in the spaces between bells.
