They weren't looking for love.
But love found them.
One lived with her heart wrapped in silence, the other wore hers too openly.
Both were haunted, by pasts they couldn't forget, and feelings they didn't yet understand.
Blake Winters is a quiet and shy mechanic in a small town, known for her hands more than her words. With a fractured past and a mind that rarely rests, she lives carefully, avoiding connection, avoiding herself. Writing used to be her escape, but now she hides even from the page.
Sarah Langford is a soft-spoken doctor with a gentle smile and a complicated history. She moves to the sleepy town searching for something she can't name. Peace, maybe. Freedom. Or the space to figure out who she really is, away from the shadows of who she was raised to be.
When their worlds collide, it's silent. Unspoken. Electric.
And it only gets harder to stay away.
What begins as a glance stretches into long silences, stolen moments, lengthy longings, lingering touches, until two broken women find in each other what they never dared hope for: comfort, tenderness, and something terrifyingly close to love.
But the closer they get, the more the past threatens to pull them apart.
A story of quiet longing, slow healing, and love that unfolds in the pauses between words.
Sometimes, the loudest love stories are whispered.
