Rasmus, frontman of the rising indie band Rouhi, is slowly unraveling. Amid growing fame and mounting pressure, he's haunted by a quiet emptiness he can't explain. When a devastating betrayal breaks him completely, Ras walks away from everything-music, love, and himself.
In a quiet town by the sea, he finds stillness... and people who don't ask him to be anything but real. An old man with a past, a girl with paint on her hands, and silence that heals more than it hurts.
But healing isn't linear-and some echoes refuse to stay buried.
The Sound of Stillness is a deeply moving novel about brokenness, beauty, and the long, uncertain path to becoming whole again. Told with lyrical prose and raw honesty, it's a story about friendship, creative freedom, and finding your way back-through music, through memory, and through the people who never stopped believing in you.

Wicked Little Words
They promised it was just fun. No strings. No feelings. So why does it feel like everything? At twenty-two, Sloane doesn't have room in her life for heartbreak. Between nursing school, long CNA shifts, and raising her daughter, she barely has time to breathe-let alone fall for someone. So when Braden, a friends boyfriends cocky, charming best friend, makes it clear he's only in it for fun, Sloane agrees. It's safe. Easy. Exactly what she needs. Until it isn't. Because somewhere between the stolen looks, mind-blowing sex and late-night banter, Sloane starts to want more. And without realizing it, so does Braden. But Braden has ghosts that won't stay buried. And when the girl he once claimed to love whispers a lie that cuts too deep, he doesn't just believe it-he uses it to break Sloane in the cruelest way. By the time the truth comes out, Sloane's heart is in ruins, and Braden's the one left bleeding. He never meant to fall for her. He never meant to lose her, either. Now he's ready to fight for the only woman he's ever really loved. But some promises can't be undone. And Sloane might be the one thing Braden can't win back.Lengkap
Her Smile, My Silence
Some love stories aren't meant to have forever. Some are written for healing, for growth, for goodbye. Mae thought she had moved on. Her past with Jonah had faded into the quiet corners of her memory-or so she believed. Years later, a work assignment sends her to a small coastal town she's never heard of. And he's there. Jonah, the boy who once held her whole heart, now a man with his own quiet scars. She thought she had healed. He thought he had accepted the silence. But destiny, ever the unpredictable storyteller, brings them together again... at the wrong time, in the right place. Set in the lush, intimate backdrop of a Philippine province, Her Smile, My Silence is a slow-burn, bittersweet novel about the kind of love that lingers even after it's let go. This is not a story of second chances-it's a story of closure, of remembering without regret, and of finding peace even in the unfinished.Lengkap
THE SOUND OF BREATHING
Synopsis: The Sound of Breathing follows Adira Kale, a young nursing trainee with generalized anxiety disorder, who is assigned to a psychiatric ward for her clinical rotation. There, she meets Elias Verne, a brilliant yet troubled bipolar patient with a history of manic episodes and depression. As Adira becomes increasingly involved in his care, their connection deepens - both of them grappling with their own personal battles. Elias challenges her understanding of what it means to truly care, pushing her to question the fine line between control and compassion. Through their conversations, moments of vulnerability, and shared silences, Adira learns that healing doesn't come from medicine alone. It's a quiet, ongoing act of understanding - a delicate dance between letting go and holding on. This novel is a journey of self-discovery, mental health awareness, and the power of human connection. It explores how our emotional struggles can both isolate and unite us, and how sometimes, the smallest moments of understanding can be the most profound.

WHERE WINTER BLOOMS
Sometimes, first love isn't a person. It's the first time someone truly sees you. Nathan sings in silence. No one knows he does. No one asks why he stopped shining. Ryan pretends he's fine. No one notices he's breaking inside. A paper plane connects them. An empty theater listens. And in the middle of the world's noise, two boys find in music a language more honest than words. But growing up hurts. Loving hurts more. And the fear of disappointing those who should protect you can be louder than any melody. This story is for those who've ever felt like they didn't belong. For those who carry invisible wounds and still dare to dream. For those who know that love doesn't always shout... sometimes, it just sings.
