Eloise had always found solace in the quiet. The world around her, so chaotic and loud, never seemed to match the rhythm of her heart. Her dog, a loyal golden retriever named Milo, was her only true companion. He never demanded words from her, only her presence, and that was enough. At 21, Eloise was thriving in her marketing program at the university, letting her work speak volumes where her voice didn't.
Jeff, on the other hand, thrived in a world of negotiation and control, even if he had no choice in the matter. His family's legacy loomed over him, a shadow he couldn't escape. They were powerful, feared, and deeply entrenched in a world he was expected to inherit. But first, he had to finish his business degree-a thinly veiled cover for preparing him to take the reins.
Their paths crossed not in chaos, but in silence-an unspoken bond neither of them expected to change their lives forever.

It Started in Spanish
Anthony stops at my bare shoulder and leans down to press a hot kiss onto the skin. "You can't say things like that.." He delivers another, this one to my collarbone and making my words grow weak, unconvincing ... even as they come from my own mouth. "We're supposed to be ... friends." Anthony is quiet at first, the only response I get being his free hand drifting over to cage my body into the small space between us. "I know .." He trails off. It goes dead silent for a second. "But I ... don't think that's enough for me, B." There's a sharp breath from me at the words and a flush of heat to my cheeks when Anthony pushes my hair over my shoulder. His actions expose me to him, showing off my bare shoulders in a way that's downright indecent as the straps pulled down now hang loosely off my arms. "I don't want .. to be just a friend to you." And then, there's another kiss to pair. Although it isn't a simple peck this time. It's an actual kiss now, slow and softly pressed onto my neck. Beatrix thought she'd never trust another guy again.

She'd had high hopes of starting anew and faithfully prepared to blend in to the background. And the day goes well. Until she sits down in Spanish, where she meets Anthony Gamaro. After a slight misunderstanding, Beatrix finds herself in an odd friendship with the 20 year old football player. One that slowly helps her regain the confidence she'd long lost before.
