Haunted by her past and torn between orders and instinct, Yelena is drawn into a tangled mission that goes far beyond what she signed up for. As the path grows more dangerous, fate brings her face to face with Joel Miller-a smuggler with a reputation, a hardened heart, and more in common with her than she's ready to admit.

Rafe is chaos with a pulse. Soren is fury wrapped in silence. Too much and not enough-a fire that won't burn out. This isn't soft. It's sex, blood, obsession, and the kind of love that scars. It's queer, brutal, and real. For the fucked-up, the loud, the ones who love hard and burn longer- This Is What We Are. © 2025 S.L. All rights reserved.

With trembling fingers, she picked up the phone, the line crackling with anticipation. "Hello?" she whispered, her voice barely audible. The response was cold and calculated, a chilling echo of the past. "Molly," Brendan's voice slithered through the line, sending a shiver down her spine. "I told you I would find you. Did you really think you could hide from me?" Her grip on the phone tightened until her knuckles turned white. "What do you want?" she managed to ask, her voice wavering with fear and anger. "Isn't it obvious?" he sneered. "To finish what I started. You think you can just leave me behind and live your life like nothing happened? You're mine, Molly. You always will be."

Elias doesn't speak. He doesn't hear. After years of silence and stares, he's learned to live behind walls no one can climb-until Finn stumbles in with wide eyes, crooked smiles, and a stubborn determination to understand the quiet boy who never speaks. At first, Finn only wants to make Elias feel seen. But something deeper blooms in the silences between them, in the notes passed under desks, in the way Finn starts learning sign language just to say, "You matter." In a world that has always made Elias feel like an outsider, Finn becomes the first person who makes him feel heard. A tender, emotional high school romance about first love, second chances, and finding home in the heart of another-even when words fall short.
