Phoenix Jones, confined to a hospital bed, grapples with the aftermath of a life-altering event. Haunted by guilt and burdened by strained relationships, he struggles to navigate his new reality. Amidst the shadows of his past, he finds an unexpected source of comfort in Jordan Washington, a caregiver whose own scars lie hidden beneath a facade of strength.

As Phoenix and Jordan's paths converge, they embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing, confronting the demons that haunt them and embracing the possibility of redemption. Together, they navigate the depths of their own pain, forging a bond forged in empathy and understanding.

"It's always been you, Phoenix. You are the one who makes me the happiest. Just being in the same room as you gives me god damn butterflies. Hearing the sound of your voice makes me feel safe and protected. And when you left for college, home didn't feel like home anymore. That's when I realized that home wasn't just a house or a place you live at...for me, it was you." Scarlett Wolf has the looks of her father but the sass, class, and kindest soul from her mother. She wears her heart on her sleeve and there is only one person on earth who takes up the biggest part of it. The one who she has been desperately in love with since diapers and the one who has never seen her as anything other than just a little girl. Phoenix Zeller has the rugged looks, charm, and cluelessness from his father but the passionate and protective heart from his mother. He's serious and stubborn at times, but when he finally opens up, he is the biggest sweetheart you'll ever know. And just when he thinks he has a good grasp on life, a little "Wolf" will come along to flip his world upside down in the best way possible. **This is book two of my "Out of" series. Book one is called "Out of Left Field" which is about the parents of the characters in this story. It is currently on the Chapters app, but I will be slowly transferring it over to Wattpad. You do not have to read book one first. Just know that there may be a few very simple details you would be missing.** Copyright © 2020 by Jenna Stephens All rights reserved.

Co-parenting his daughter, Juana, while avoiding his ex-wife's public displays of moving on, Jordan has grown comfortable keeping his heart locked away. Then comes Antalya Nara-mysterious, guarded, with some quirks that are impossible to ignore. When Jordan first crosses paths with her, he assumes she's just another fleeting encounter, someone he'll forget as quickly as he met. But beneath her quiet demeanor lies a depth he can't shake. There's something about her-something elusive yet familiar. Beneath the surface, there's something more. As their worlds collide, so do their emotional barriers, and in every glance and every unspoken word, they are drawn closer. Despite their best efforts, some connections are impossible to avoid. But the more they're drawn together, the more they must confront their buried secrets and long avoided truths. The Unspoken is a story filled with tension, secrets, and the ache of buried emotions. As Jordan and Antalya's paths intertwine, both are forced to unfold their pasts and their fears about love piece by piece. But will the truth be enough to bring them together or tear them apart? Will they continue to run, or will they finally face the unspoken truths that bind them together? The Unspoken is a poignant, heartwarming tale of emotional vulnerability, second chances, and the courage it takes to confront the ghosts of the past. Perfect for readers who love romance with depth, humor, and richly drawn characters, The Unspoken will linger long after the final page is turned. -"They'd give anything for love, except to speak the truth!"
