Jenna thought Glasgow was a second chance.
Turns out, it's a 40 year experiment, and she's the variable they never saw coming.

Jenna Hollins craves a quiet life.
She's deaf. She's burnt out. And thanks to her brother, she's been dragged to a cozy Virginia town where the people are warm but wary-like they're throwing seasonal festivals to distract from something darker.

Cyrus is steady. Charming. Protective. The boy who helps her navigate the life she never asked for.

But when she starts slipping at home, and at school, the person who shows up isn't Cyrus.
It's Nicholas. Cyrus's older cousin and best friend's emotionally unavailable brother.
The one they all warned her about.

Nick tells her the town isn't what it seems. That if she wants the truth, she'll have to stop trusting the system, and start trusting him instead.

As the pressure builds, Jenna is forced to choose between two versions of safety:
The boy who pulls her closer as she breaks, but won't speak the truth aloud...
Or the boy who betrayed the people he loves-but trusts her with a secret that could destroy everything.

****

✨ Tropes / Themes:
	•	Slow burn triangle
	•	Disability rep (deaf MC + cochlear implants)
	•	Found family & sibling bonds
	•	Cozy and quirky small town vibes. Think Gilmore Girls if Stars Hollow had deep-rooted secrets
	•	Academic pressure, mental unraveling
	•	Quiet dystopia in a contemporary world

Laura Roberts has risen from the ashes, now the powerful billionaire heiress to her father's empire. Her past feels like a distant memory-until a reporter's probing question pulls her back into the spotlight. "Miss Roberts, can you finally tell us what really happened with your husband five years ago?" Before she can respond, a familiar voice interrupts, dripping with confidence. "You will not ask my wife any further questions about me. I never stopped loving her," Lorenzo declares, stepping out of the shadows. Stunned, Laura spins around. How did he find her? "I'm not your wife!" she fires back, her voice steady. "Not yet, darling. But I've made arrangements. We're getting remarried... *today.*"
