The Quiet Between Us

At fifteen, Hallie's life shattered. A brutal accident stole her hearing and with it, her dream of becoming a doctor. In the silence, she found solace in writing, pouring her lost hopes and hidden fears into her stories. By twenty-two, she had rebuilt herself, though the scars of isolation left her guarded and unsure of her worth.

In Russia, while publishing her first novel, she meets Vladimir-a powerful Mafia boss cloaked in danger and allure. One look at Hallie, and he's drawn to her vulnerability, her quiet presence an irresistible contrast to his brutal world. For Hallie, Vladimir is both terrifying and magnetic, awakening desires she thought were long buried. As she's pulled deeper into his dark orbit, she realizes his love is possessive, his passion a force that could consume her. In Moscow's shadowed depths, Hallie must decide if risking her heart-and her safety-is worth a love as intense as it is perilous.
