I'm not great at writing descriptions, so I'll just say this: I hope you give the story a chance. It's something different I'm trying, and I really hope you enjoy it. Tropes: Age gap Second chance Forced marriage Unrequited love Melo-drama Single parent Happy ending Note: This is my first full-length book, so please forgive mistakes, over-explained parts, and areas that still need editing. It's just a hobby, not professional work. Some chapters have mature content-skip if you're not comfortable. Thanks for reading and supporting my work. Happy reading!Complete
What If We Drown ✓
Ashlyn hasn't spoken a word since the age of eight, and her heart's never felt more protected. But, when the confident and ever so charming Derek stumbles into her quiet little world, her emotions-and forbidden desires-have never been so loud. ***** For twenty years, silence is all Ashlyn Holland has known. Haunted by the memories of her father, and the harrowing song of the ocean that stole him from her, Ashlyn maintains a safe distance from the rest of the world. Treading carefully the sea of fear and anguish that surrounds her, Ashlyn is determined to do all she can to protect her heart from such a tragic loss striking again. In silence, she grieves. In silence, she is safe. In silence, she finds the strength to breathe. But the silence can only last so long... Derek Moreno is charming and devoted, and quick to see through every wall Ashlyn erects. With his arrival in town, defences fold and walls begin to crumble, the songs of her heart reaching new heights. Together, they crest twin tides of fate, the silence she'd once sought engulfed by his gentle touch, and the whispers of a love thought impossible. For the summer, Ashlyn welcomes the noise. The disruption. But, the ghosts of Derek's past will no longer remain silent, and their deafening power has the potential to drag them both into a current strong enough to drown them amidst their heartache.

The Quiet After
"I grew up in a house where silence was safer than honesty." Eli has spent his childhood decoding every sigh, every shift in tone, every unspoken rule that held his family together. To the outside world, they look perfect - but behind closed doors is a maze of control, guilt, and gaslighting that he's too young to name and too smart to ignore. Through hidden journal entries and later reflections, Eli begins to piece together the truth about the people who raised him - and the boy they almost destroyed. The Quiet After is a raw, intimate story of survival, voice, and the fragile kind of peace that comes when you finally walk away. Not about revenge. Not about forgiveness. About freedom.Complete
