Growing up without a family she learnt the hard way that love was most of all, a fairytale, only found in worn books and illogical movies, but that never stopped her from feeling everything so deeply, daydreaming and romanticising a life that's never truly been hers. All she's ever wanted was a little bit of love. Will moving into the busy streets of Brooklyn to get away from the loneliness she's always felt and potentially find the boring love she wants so badly be the easiest choice she ever makes? Probably, and quite possibly...the worst... Now Rosie will learn the hard way that sometimes when a 6'4ft man with piercing green eyes, the mouth of a sailor and an obviously not so alluring demeanour tells you to walk the other way, just walk the other fucking way...

⚠️‼️READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS‼️⚠️ Kalani has mastered the art of silence - not by choice, but by survival. Selectively mute and carrying a past too broken to name, she's spent her life shielding her secrets behind wide eyes and trembling hands. After the brutal loss of her mother and years under the control of a relative whose name still haunts her, Kalani and her twin brother, Kaleb, have only ever had each other. Then the police find them. But instead of being sent into foster care - something that, strangely, never happened despite years of instability - they're told someone is coming to collect them. A man they've never met. A white man. He claims to be family. He says he's their legal guardian. And without warning, they're thrown into a cold, unfamiliar world of sharp suits, marble hallways, and older half-brothers who seem more like shadows than siblings. A world of wealth, power, and secrets that run deeper than blood. As Kalani tries to navigate this new life - where silence is no longer safe, and the past feels anything but gone - she begins to uncover the truth behind her family, her father, and a legacy far more dangerous than she ever imagined. Some bonds are forged in love. Others in pain. And some? Some are written in blood. They thought they were escaping their past. But what if it just changed its face? Read 'SECRETS OF THE MUTE' and find out the story of Kalani.
