What happens when two people, both haunted by the past, cross paths in a way neither expects? Jordan York thought he had his life under control-until his marriage crumbled, leaving behind a trail of unanswered questions and an emptiness he couldn't fill. 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!"

"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.

𝘽𝙤𝙤𝙠 𝙄𝙄𝙄 𝙤𝙛 𝙂𝙤𝙡𝙙 𝙁𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨 The bad news: Phoenix has turned into gold. The good news: so have their enemies. It's also possible that apart from their group of three, so have the rest of the human kind. Meanwhile, in the cottage, life more or less goes on. As Najwa mourns both her mom and the loss of her closest friend, Rain can't tear his gaze away from the golden remnants of their enemies and Rio does their best to keep everyone fed and healthy. Aspen isn't much help, not when he is holed up in his room, terrified of the power he holds. It's been said that you only realize the importance of someone when they're gone. Whether or not that is true, Aspen would give his life to get Phoenix back. There's guilt, undoubtedly, but also the fact that he has a huge crush on him. They have never even had the chance to kiss or confess their feelings, and that's just tragic. But hey, there's always a chance for a long-distance relationship. As you might imagine, the connection from one world to another isn't ideal. But if they can make it work, there's a chance to return Phoenix and the rest of the infected back to life.
