[previously known as SILENT SEPTEMBER ]
"There is something I want you to know about you and me; In silence or with words... I want you. Words are meant to bring us together, but if that's not what you want so can silence. Regardless of any form of communication I want you. Only you"

Words bring people together, but what if that's not the case?
Blane, a born deaf pianist, hates the thought of his voice. He hates the thought of sounding stupid, not having a what people would consider a "normal" voice.
So he makes a decision not to use words ever again and uses art as his form of expression instead.
Aleera, pickpocketed in one of the crowded streets of London, is almost left stranded in the rain... if it wasn't for Blane. From the moment she first saw him she was determined to see him again. But just when she gave up and stopped looking, he found her instead. In a crowded little bookstore, front page of the newspaper.

Because sometimes, no matter how far you run or how cruel the world may seem, **some souls are meant to find their way back to each other.** When he saw her once again -soft, quiet, and unlike everything he had ever known-he couldn't walk away this . So he didn't. Instead, he **forced her family to marry her off to him**, threatening everything they held dear. But she was too ill to fight it. Too weak to stand at the altar. Too unaware to even know her life had changed forever. A love born in shadows. A marriage sealed in silence. And a story that proves even the coldest hearts can burn with love again. ---
Where Silence Sings
She hasn't spoken a word in years. He's got a reputation that screams trouble. Anya Thorne's voice was stolen by a past she can't escape. Kidnapped, abused, and left for dead, she survived, but her words died with the trauma. Now, her only solace is the college music room, where, after hours and utterly alone, her unique, hauntingly beautiful voice can finally sing, a raw whisper of who she truly is. Jasper Knox is the campus bad boy. Tattoos, piercings, and a rebellious streak a mile wide. He's constantly butting heads with his strict father and has no plans beyond dodging expectations.

Drawn by the secret beauty of her song, Jasper finds himself obsessed with the silent girl. As he slowly, patiently, chips away at Anya's deep-seated trauma and fierce paranoia, a tentative trust begins to bloom. He shows her his own hidden world-a raw, emotional talent for the piano, a passion he's always concealed. But their fragile connection is threatened by every side: Anya's overprotective parents who fear Jasper is too dangerous, his demanding father who sees Anya as a distraction, Jasper's manipulative "bad girl" girlfriend, Cassidy, who's determined to tear them apart, and the whispers and rumors that follow them across campus. And for Anya, the shadows of her past are always lurking, threatening to pull her back into the silence.

Her parents are always too busy, her old friends have new lives, and no one seems to notice how quiet she's become-or how much it hurts. She used to dream big. Now she just dreams of being seen. Then one night, in a haze of insomnia and scrolling, Haley finds an anonymous online forum where people share the things they're too scared to say out loud.

As the nights stretch on and the stars stay silent, Haley starts to connect with others who feel like ghosts in their own lives. In their stories, she finds flickers of light. Maybe she isn't invisible. Maybe she isn't broken beyond repair. Maybe being lost doesn't mean you'll never be found. This is a quiet, aching story about loneliness, unseen pain, and the fight to remember who you are-especially when the world forgets.Complete
