Kristen Wood is a witty, sarcastic, and emotionally scarred 24 year old college graduate with a strong talent for singing. In spite of the fact that she's the one who brings home the bacon, her dysfunctional family kicks her out with nowhere to go.
Jude Rhett Byron, or J. R Byron, is a dashing, kind, and quiet 30 year old novelist at the height of his successful career. However, because of a trauma concerning his past, he has gone mute, closed off from the world, and has gotten white hairs at a very young age.
By a total fluke, Jude and Kristen meet, and under certain circumstances, he invites her to stay in his home with the promise of a job.
Of course, he doesn't speak and uses his own method to communicate.
For her part, Kristen attempts to understand this man the best way she can while dealing with her own troubles.
These two completely different people go on to entangle themselves into something passionate, complicated, and uncertain.
The real question is: How complicated and uncertain will they allow it to be?

Falling for the Sound of You
This book is definitely special a lot of the moment of this book has came from dreams. Put into reality. Sienna never meant to follow a stranger off the bus that night. She had no destination-just a restless heart and an impulse she couldn't explain. But the moment she locked eyes with him, something pulled her in. And when she lost him in the city's maze of streets, she found herself caught in an entirely different story-one of hardship, resilience, and an unexpected bond with a struggling mother living on the edge of survival. Lucian Moreau is a man who keeps his past locked behind the chords of his music. A professor by day and an artist by night, he's spent years avoiding attachments, letting the rhythm of his world move without interruption. But when a chance encounter with a woman on a late-night bus unsettles something deep inside him, he can't shake the feeling that she was meant to cross his path. As Sienna and Lucian's lives begin to intertwine, their connection becomes impossible to ignore. But love is never simple-not when past wounds linger, when trauma haunts the edges of every moment, and when the music between them is both beautiful and painfully raw. In a city filled with lost souls and unspoken dreams, two hearts find themselves drawn to each other by a force neither of them understands. But some melodies are meant to be heard, and some love stories are written in the spaces between the notes. A deeply emotional romance about healing, trauma, and the kind of love that refuses to let go.Complete
Yours Truly, Austin Post - Post Malone
Ava watches as Austin clings to Gracie, his shoulders shaking as he buries his face in her blankets, powerless to ease the grief that holds him. He's torn between the brief promise of two nights and the weight of his own emotions. Ava can't fix this, but she can't walk away either. When Austin speaks, his words echo with a raw desperation. "How do I leave her like this? It's only two nights... my dad says it's only two nights. But that's the problem. It's only two nights." Sitting beside him, Ava offers no simple answers, just the truth she's learned over the years. Time is a fleeting thing, and if you measure it by hours or days, you'll never have enough. Instead, you count the moments that matter. You hold onto memories, letting them string together to form something beautiful, even when life feels like it's slipping through your fingers. "Everybody's going to hurt you," she tells him, her voice steady, yet heavy with understanding. "You just gotta find the one worth suffering for." But as Austin struggles to hold on to what he loves, he begins to wonder: Is Gracie worth the pain? And if he lets go, what will be left of him? In a world where time is never enough, Ava and Austin must learn what it really means to choose love-and to embrace the fleeting moments that will shape their futures. A deeply emotional story of love, loss, and the memories that make us who we are.Complete
