But as soon as the wedding is over, the Jack he knew disappears. What was once a relationship built on laughter and trust turns into a nightmare of manipulation, control, and emotional abuse.

But everything changes when he find some old friend.
In a story of love turned toxic, "Silent Wounds" explores the silent pain that so many endure behind closed doors, shedding light on the complexities of domestic violence within same-sex relationships. Will Liam find the strength to break free, or will he be lost to the shadows of a love gone wrong?

Queen of the West
"You don't belong in this world of mine," Liam whispered, his lips inches from mine. "But I'm selfish, and I can't let you go." "I want to stay," I whispered, my voice barely audible. "I'm falling for you too, Liam." - I should be sneering, laughing even. How blind could he be? Liam Sterling-the killer, master manipulator, the ruthless, untouchable king of New York's underworld-brought to his knees by the one woman sworn to tear him apart. For years, revenge was all I had. Liam destroyed my family, tore my life apart, leaving me with nothing but rage. I rebuilt myself piece by piece, every step driven by the thought of making him pay. But then... I got close to him. Close enough to touch. His touch is fire, burning through every wall I've built. Each kiss, every stolen moment, weakens my defenses, awakening a need that terrifies me. How can I want him like this? Crave him, when every scar I carry is a reminder of all he's taken? I should hate him. I should destroy him. But when he looks at me, when he holds me like I'm something he needs to protect, I'm lost. And as I watch him break, all I feel is a strange, hollow ache where satisfaction should be.
