Solsticeheart
She grew up in silence, behind walls built from neglect and control-an only child who learned early never to ask, never to need, and never to trust. He grew up in warmth, surrounded by love, support, and open arms. When their worlds collide, she can't understand his kindness, nor believe it's real. But as he patiently stays, showing her a love that asks nothing in return, she begins to feel what she never dared to hope for. Yet love is one thing-belonging is another. Haunted by the belief that every family wounds, she keeps her distance from his. Until their unwavering warmth begins to undo years of cold.
A tender tale of healing, trust, and finding home.
