Beneath the Surface
Erin Salazar has always preferred quiet and order. Words, emotions, and attention are things she keeps carefully contained. In a world that expects her to perform, smile, and fit in, she moves like a shadow-present but unseen.
Then there's Ney Villamayor, whose calm attentiveness makes it impossible to remain unnoticed. He observes the small details, the fleeting gestures, the silences that say more than words ever could. And somehow, Erin's reserved nature both frustrates and fascinates him.
As their paths cross in the busy office, subtle interactions begin to matter more than either expected. A glance lingers too long, a smile carries more weight than intended, and moments of quiet connection slowly pull them closer. Yet both are wary-of the past, of unspoken feelings, and of what it would mean to finally open their hearts.
Beneath the Surface is a contemporary slow-burn romance about discovering courage, healing from old scars, and learning that love doesn't always arrive with fireworks-it sometimes whispers, in pauses and gestures, in the moments that go unnoticed until they can't be ignored.
Step into Erin and Ney's world, where love unfolds quietly, persistently, and completely beneath the surface.
