❝ I KNOW HER SILENCE. I LIVE IN IT. ❞ • ୨💌୧ 𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇 . . . Aurora Kelly has grown up between open fields and closed doors. A farm girl with dirt under her nails and kindness in her bones, she's learned how to carry responsibility quietly. Sweet, steady, unbreakable-at least that's what everyone thinks. After the night that stole pieces of her memory, Aurora lives with fear she can't name and pain she can't fully remember. She doesn't want sympathy. She just wants space to breathe. Joey Lynch doesn't believe in breathing easy. A hurler with bruised knuckles and oil-stained hands, he spends his days working in a garage and his nights holding his family together. Raised in violence, shaped by addiction, Joey became the parent long before he stopped being a child. He fixes engines because they make sense. People don't. She's always been his best friend's little sister-off-limits, untouchable, not his to look at twice. Until she starts showing up in his chaos, fitting into his broken world with quiet patience and eyes that see too much. One slow unraveling changes everything. Two people carrying more than they should recognize the damage in each other-and for the first time, neither looks away.

Hughie Biggs. The love of my bloody life. The fella I swore I'd grow old with, get a ring on my finger from, have the big church wedding, the lot. I used to lie awake at night and picture his hand in mine, picture his laugh bouncing off the walls of our kitchen. Back then, I didn't have the faintest clue about the way the world could chew you up and spit you out. I remember us when we were younger, before everything went sour. When Caoimhe was still alive, when her laugh could still fill a room. When I still had friends-real ones, the kind you'd sit on the green with till it got dark, passing a bag of crisps around, talking rubbish and thinking it meant the world. Back then, we were untouchable, or so we thought. But nothing lasts, does it? Not love, not family, not even friendship. Everything rots eventually, like fruit left out too long. Secrets crawl their way to the surface no matter how deep you bury them, and when they do, they choke you. That's what happened to me. That's what happened to Hughie. The truth came crawling, and it ruined everything. So I've made up my mind. I can't stay here, not in this cursed town, not walking the same streets where his hand used to brush mine, where Caoimhe used to skip beside me, where I laughed like I actually believed in tomorrow. It's all poisoned now. Every corner, every memory, every face that looks at me like they know more than they should. I'm leaving. For good this time. I'll pack a bag, take nothing but what I can carry, and I'll vanish before anyone can stop me. No goodbyes, no explanations. Just gone. Because the truth is, there's nothing left here for me anymore-only ghosts, and I've had enough of them to last me a lifetime.

Tara Lynch is dead. Or so everyone thinks. After the devastating fire that claimed her parents and her childhood home, her younger siblings were placed into the unexpected care of her boyfriend's parents. That boyfriend? None other than Johnny Kavanagh, Ireland's golden boy of rugby, blissfully unaware that his girlfriend isn't just alive, but carrying his child. Now, under the assumed identity of Elizabeth Ladner, Tara finds herself on the sun-drenched shores of Mallorca, courtesy of the quiet, unwavering support of Malachy and Ciaran. With nothing left to lose, having already sacrificed everything-her past, her name, and her connection to the siblings she adores- Tara is determined to forge a new life. She knows that the unexpected life blooming inside her is both a miracle and a threat: a secret that could shatter Johnny's rising international stardom and expose her carefully constructed new reality. As the lines between Tara and Elizabeth blur, and the due date looms, she must decide if her desperate act of self-preservation was the ultimate betrayal, or the only way to protect a future she never thought she'd have. But how long can a dead girl stay hidden, especially when the greatest secret she carries is about to be born?
