Now on Amazon/KU and paperback. He was silent.
My life was full of whispers, insidious and ugly, convincing me that I wasn't enough. When Dillon came into my life, he earned my trust and convinced me those whispers were all lies. He gave me a glimpse into a world where I could be happy and build a family based on unconditional love and zero expectations. Except maybe one. When the moment comes for Dillon to speak up and defend me, he doesn't say a word...and reality comes crashing down. He's not the man I thought he was, but I'm not the same girl he fell in love with either. 

I'm stronger now. I know I deserve better, and when I walk away...

He'll be the one picking up the pieces.

The Odd Ones A group of friends, each with a name that stood out like a whispered secret, each carrying a story both beautiful and heartbreaking. December I was always the good girl-the straight-A student, the responsible teacher, the model citizen. I did everything right, yet I never felt enough. My reflection was my greatest enemy, my weight a constant battle. Compliments meant nothing when I couldn't believe them myself. Then I met Rider. He was my coach, a force of nature wrapped in quiet confidence. His encouragement wasn't just about the gym-it seeped into my bones, into the way I saw myself. He made me feel like I was more than just my insecurities. And then... he made me feel loved. But love came with secrets. Ours had to stay hidden for the sake of his job-or so he said. I accepted it, held onto the stolen moments, the whispered promises. Until one night, I overheard him. And my world crumbled.
