After leaving Daniel, the man who quietly broke her spirit, her heart quite literally gave out. Diagnosed with stress-induced heart failure, she faced a year of limbo-grieving what was, fearing what's next, and clinging to the fragile hope of a transplant. Two years later, Elizabeth has a new heart and a quiet life. She's rebuilt from the ground up, choosing safety over risk, solitude over vulnerability. Love is no longer a part of the plan. Then she meets John Pearson-a warm, grounded literature professor who doesn't ask her to be anything more than she already is. What begins as a gentle friendship rooted in books and easy conversation begins to stir something deeper. But vulnerability is its own risk. As their bond grows, so do the fears Elizabeth thought she'd buried-fears of loss, of being broken again, of not surviving a second time. When John offers a love that feels steady and true, Elizabeth is faced with a question she never thought she'd ask again: Can she give her heart to someone new, knowing how fragile it's become-and how much it cost to start over?

Some stories are whispered, not shouted. Fifteen-year-old Éabha Gibson is used to being invisible. At Tommen College, she's just "Little Gibson" - the quiet, awkward sister of loudmouth rugby lad Gerard "Gibsie" Gibson. She keeps her head down, hides in oversized hoodies, and survives the chaos of school, one sarcastic comment, and one safe sleepover at a time. Behind the glasses and the guarded walls is a girl still grieving a father and baby sister lost to the water - and still haunted by things she doesn't talk about. Then there's Patrick Feely. He's not like the other rugby lads - not loud, not pushy. Just... quiet. Observant. Always lingering at the edge of things, just like her. He doesn't tease like the others. He notices. And that might be even more terrifying. Éabha doesn't want to be seen - not really. But maybe, just maybe, being seen by him isn't so bad. As secrets simmer, friendships shift, and the past refuses to stay buried, Éabha has to decide if she'll keep hiding in the shadow of everyone else's expectations - or if it's finally time to step into her own story.
