A chance meeting could lead her down an unexpected path and change her life. Will she take it?

Love and hate are separated by one step. Going back is almost impossible. Some people fear the dead. But sometimes the most dangerous monster... is the one you might become. Four years ago Candela Delgado trusted the wrong person - and lost everything. Her family. Her home. Her future. For four years she taught herself to hate him. For four years she convinced herself that Santiago Vargas was dead. But the world burned. The dead rose. And now he stands at the door of her refuge with a gun in his hand - demanding that she return what she took from him. Santiago Vargas isn't looking for forgiveness. He's looking for the truth. And the only person who can give it to him is the girl with the scar on her face and fire running through her veins. The girl he once swore to forget. But the past never stays buried. The secrets of Camp Kairon are more dangerous than the walking dead. And to the people already hunting her, Candela isn't just a survivor. She is the Spark. The key to a power that could change everything. And when the truth finally comes out, their world will burn again. Post-apocalypse. Enemies. A love that refuses to die.

In the Pauses Between Us Amani has learned how to survive by staying quiet. By sitting near windows. By listening more than speaking. By becoming invisible in rooms full of noise. When Kairo arrives-calm, observant, and carrying a past he never explains-he doesn't try to fix her silence. He doesn't rush her words. He simply sits beside her, in the pauses she thought no one noticed. Between shared glances, unfinished sentences, and moments that don't need explaining, something begins to grow. But silence can protect you... and it can also keep you trapped. In the Pauses Between Us is a slow-burn coming-of-age story about being seen, finding your voice, and discovering that sometimes the deepest connections are formed in the quietest moments.
