The Silence of Us

Jazlyn Monroe is a shell of who she was once was. Neglect, trauma, and depression have her convinced there's no where to go but down.

That is, until Nicholas Kade moves to town. Fresh off a move to escape his own troubled past, he's determined to build a better future for himself. Persistent, understanding, and kind in a way Jazlyn isn't used to, Nicholas refuses to be pushed away by the girl who looks like she's seconds away from falling apart.

But letting someone in isn't easy, and as Jazlyn begins to trust Nicholas, the past they've both tried to bury begins to resurface. Her ex boyfriend that refuses to let go, his struggles with the life he left behind, and secrets they've both buried for too long start to creep back in.

Jazlyn will have to decide once and for all if she's finally willing to fight for herself-and for a future with Nicholas that seems so far out of reach.

Can Nicholas's unconditional love mend her broken soul or will Jazlyn's scars be too permanent to heal?
