After years of working hard toward getting his big break into the music industry, an exceptionally talented Levi Novak's success looks very promising. That is, until one day, Levi begins to experience unexplainable symptoms that make his life literally spin out of control. 

Diagnosed with Meniere's Disease, a debilitating vestibular disease, he suffers a series of losses-his music career is over, he loses his job as an elementary school teacher, his girlfriend leaves him. When the treatments have failed, Levi is left with one last resort option that he doesn't want, a bilateral labyrinthectomy, which will ultimately leave him completely deaf.

Unable to accept his illness and struggling to come to terms with his losses and the difficulties of daily life living with Meniere's Disease, Levi falls into a deep depression. One day, he hires Daisy, a breathtakingly beautiful woman with a big heart and the patience to match who has been deaf since birth, to teach him sign language, but does she end up teaching him more than sign language and his transition into the deaf and hard of hearing community? Does something more develop between them? 

Follow Levi's journey through loss, grief, endurance, love, acceptance, and rebuilding-sometimes it's the unexpected turns that life throws at us that turn out being little blessings in disguise.

Lara Dena, a powerful political figure, meets a tragic end in an accident. Reincarnated as Irisha Spes, a ten-year-old girl in a magical world, she is now deaf and mute. Initially, Irisha views her new life as a divine punishment, believing this world, like her past one, is corrupt and morally decayed. Set in the Malum Empire, a realm known for its harsh societal hierarchies and oppressive control over women and disabled individuals, Irisha struggles to survive. Her main challenge is that sign language, her only means of communication, is unknown here. She must adapt and find ways to make herself understood in a society that doesn't recognize her method of communication. Her perspective shifts dramatically when she learns she must care for her reincarnated younger sister. This bond gives her a new sense of purpose and hope, helping her see beyond her past disillusionment and recognize the beauty in her new world.

Their relationship evolves from tension to a profound and passionate romance, with the prince's growth adding depth to their connection. As Irisha transforms from a disillusioned child into a formidable political figure, her ability to communicate through sign language becomes a symbol of her strength and innovation.

Book One of Five in the New Beginnings Series. **You do NOT have to read Inhale, Exhale, & Breathe to enjoy these stories** #1 in bxb tag: 09/21/2024 #4 in friendstolovers tag: 9/21/2024 CYRUS PIERCE: I'm content in my almost soundless world. I prefer to live through the romance stories I weave and post online. Hardly anyone reads my books, even if they're free, but I do have one fan, and he's supported me since I started writing two years ago. Except, my writing started to take a depressing dive when I realized that you simply couldn't prevent nor protect your heart from falling for someone. For him. For the one who had no interest in me. When I fell in love with him, I thought we had a chance. It was an accident. Turned out, I couldn't be more wrong. He doesn't want me, and I wasn't supposed to have him. It didn't matter if he showed up in the bookstore every day, talking to everyone else except me. Nor did it matter at all because he didn't know sign language. He couldn't learn. We couldn't communicate. But after I go on a date and it ends in putrid disaster, he makes his appearance known, and he's angry. Then he's doing things for me that confuse me. My stories are filling up with pages of content, dreams that I want to come true, and my mystery commenter encourages me to continue-to reach my happiness. To take what I want. But the activities planned start sparking familiarity-like I lived it before, or maybe dreamed it. Or maybe, just maybe, I'd written it before? My mind is spiraling, but I can't stop myself from getting closer and closer to him. I'm not supposed to have him, but my heart craves him. Sage Monroe, I'm in love with you, and I'm scared now because I have a feeling that you've been communicating with me in more ways than one.

"Being mute isn't a disability. It just means that God loves you so much that He took away your voice so that you don't hurt others verbally. You see, He doesn't want you to do what others are doing to you." ⌔ ⌔ ⌔ ⌔ ⌔ ⌔ ⌔ When Sierra Bloom suffers a tragedy that costs her both her family and her voice, she shuts down every bit of emotion and passion within her and brings out a new and cold her that doesn't like being around people and things that are easy to get attached to.

After an accident in eighth grade, Louisa Kelley was blind. Every day was a struggle for her as she tried to adjust to life both at school and at home, but life got easier with practice. As soon as Louisa entered high school, things had changed for the worse. The students around her bullied her because she was different, harassing her, stealing her things, and talking about her behind her back, making an already difficult life so much harder. Now in her junior year of high school, Louisa is broken and without anyone to call a friend. She eventually decides to remove herself from the bullies that surround her daily and be home schooled. That is, until she met Alex. Alex Mirren was born deaf, but when he was six years old, he received a cochlea implant that allowed him to hear. Even after the ten years of speech therapy where he had to teach himself how to hear, Alex prefers to stay in the silence and only communicates with the world when necessary. Life seemed dull to him as he was stuck in between two worlds of silence and noise, not knowing his purpose or place in society. That is, until he saw a girl with a walking stick in the hallways. Louisa and Alex weren't made for each other. Although the very presence of each other gives them new hope and strength, things are difficult as Louisa thrives by using her hearing, while Alex shies away from sound and uses sight. Without being able to communicate easily, they must learn to overcome the barrier of the silence between them, which is easier said than done. But aren't the struggles worth it to be with that one person that means everything?
