Have you ever met someone as quiet as Jayden Cole? Probably not. You'd most likely notice that Jayden always keeps to himself. He's either alone in the corner with a cellphone in his hands, or with his - not so quiet - friends, during lunchtime at the office.
Jayden has a reason why he never utters a word. A reason he feels is so shameful, that he vowed to never speak again. His friends never questioned his silence in the past - mostly - ...until Nora showed up.
Nora: new head manager of the marketing department. Coincidentally the same department where Jayden works.
Nora is a very...outspoken female. Ask for the truth and she'll give it to you. Without sparing your feelings.
They meet. And now Jayden has to uphold his vow of silence, with this talkative woman constantly in his ears, when all he wants to do is tell her to shut up. To hell, if she's his superior.
Will Nora find out Jayden's secret? Or will Jayden's... condition go with him to his grave?

Caerwyn Rising
Years ago, Aven Caerwyn vanished from her coastal hometown under the weight of a scandal that wasn't hers to carry. Once married to Langston Everett-the city's revered fire chief and golden boy-Aven chose silence over truth, protecting his reputation while sacrificing her own. The fallout was swift and brutal: divorce, disgrace, and exile. Now, she's back. Armed with a prestigious title, global acclaim, and a name that commands boardrooms, Aven returns to the city that once turned its back on her. Her presence is quiet but seismic. Whispers trail her every step. The summit she's headlining on urban resilience and ethical leadership is the very stage where Langston will sit in the audience-and where the past threatens to ignite. But the city isn't the only thing watching. Enter Cassian Drayven-tattooed, muscled, and brilliant. Founder and CEO of Drayven Systems, a nationally renowned tech firm known for its disruptive innovations in emergency infrastructure and AI-driven crisis response. Cassian is everything Langston isn't: unpredictable, unapologetic, and drawn to Aven's fire. He sees through the silence she's worn like armor-and he's not afraid of the truth beneath it. As old secrets resurface and new alliances form, Aven must decide: will she reclaim the narrative that was stolen from her, or let the city keep its version of the truth? And when desire collides with legacy, will she risk her rebuilt empire for a love that doesn't ask her to shrink?
In the shadow of diamonds (The Diamond He Never Saw)

Now, with their paths crossing again in the shimmer of winter and the shadows of old secrets, Sienna finds herself caught in the quiet pull of what could've been-and maybe still is. Leonardo offers her clarity. Warmth. A promise without conditions. But love isn't always a rescue-it can be a reckoning. Torn between a man who speaks in silences and another who says all the right things, Sienna must confront the past that shaped her and the future she dares to want. Because some hearts bruise without breaking. Some goodbyes are never spoken. And some shadows shine brighter than diamonds.Concluida

Silently Falling (UNEDITED, ORIGINAL)
This is the UNEDITED, ORIGINAL version of Silently Falling. If you wish to find the edited version, please go to my profile and you will find it there :) The original was edited starting August 2020. - - - "Sunshine, what guy do you know has a weird fetish with sign language?" She's the aftermath of a high school party nightmare. Tragedy robbed her of her innocence and stole her voice before she had the chance to speak out. The court called her a liar, and the guilty was set free. Now memories plague her mind and trap her in solitude. She was forced to learn sign language, struggling to find a way to voice her silence. He's the definition of the boy she tried to stay away from. The epitome of harsh rumors and hopeless fantasies. The source of lies and blame. He's analyzed, misunderstood, and utterly mysterious. And he may be the one to find her voice. When they meet, she gets accustomed to his arrogance and he gets accustomed to her silence. An essay is what brings them together, but what happens when he starts asking too many questions? Will her past continue to drag her down, or will he save her? Fate has a funny way of bringing people together, but it doesn't always work how it's supposed to. - - - *different summary inside* COVER: EnsurelConcluida
