Fawn Whitaker thought silence meant stability. A quiet home, a steady marriage, and a life that looked perfect from the outside. But beneath the calm, she's unraveling-stuck in a routine that muffles her voice and a love that no longer sees her.
When a flier for a local animal shelter catches her eye, Fawn doesn't expect it to lead her to Damian Hart-a volunteer musician with calloused hands, a haunted gaze, and an uncanny ability to hear the things she isn't saying. What begins as chance encounters slowly deepens into something far more dangerous: a connection that threatens to awaken everything Fawn's been suppressing.
As her marriage buckles under the weight of truth and unspoken want, Fawn must decide if happiness is worth breaking the rules-and the heart of the man who once felt like home.
Told in alternating perspectives, The Quiet Between Us is a poignant, slow-burn story of longing, betrayal, and rediscovery.

Nick Sturniolo, a rising YouTube star known for his warmth and openness, seems like everything Luca isn't: loud, confident, and impossible to ignore. But when fate (and a chance encounter at an indie bookstore) brings them together, Luca begins to discover that maybe softness isn't weakness. Maybe it's the kind of strength you only find when someone finally sees you - really sees you - and stays. A tender slow-burn romance about learning to trust, the courage in vulnerability, and the quiet power of being known.

Never his
She loved in silence, but silence was never enough...A Love That Was Never Meant to Be... Lyra Hart loved Damien Sinclair in a way the universe never allowed-with quiet glances, stolen moments, and a heart that beat only for him. But to Damien, she was just a familiar presence, she was just his sister's best friend-nothing more, nothing less, a shadow in the backdrop of his life. He belonged to another, and Lyra? She was never his to begin with. So, she smiled at his wedding, swallowed her unspoken love, and walked away. Years passed, and distance was supposed to heal what love had broken. But then came the call-the one that pulled her back to a place she swore she'd never return to. Damien's wife was dead. Murdered. And the man she once knew had vanished, leaving behind only grief, rage, and an obsession to unearth the truth. Now, as she stands beside him once more, bound by a past she never truly escaped, Lyra makes a choice-to help him chase the shadows of a mystery far darker than either of them imagined. Even if it means standing in the ruins of a love that was never hers. A slow-burn tale of longing and loss, love and betrayal-where the heart aches for what it was never meant to hold, and the truth waits in the silence, waiting to be found.

Each shared glance, each unspoken truth, draws them closer to the line they promised not to cross. But beneath every silence lies the weight of what they've both lost - and the fear of what loving each other might break.
