The Quiet Hours

Thirty-year-old Freya Cummings has spent ten years trapped in a marriage forged on obligation rather than love. Once passionate sweethearts, she and her husband, Jacob, are now strangers under the same roof. Emotionally absent, cruel, and deeply dismissive, Jacob seems determined to keep Freya suffocating in her role as nothing more than a dutiful wife and mother.
Freya survives in a state of quiet numbness as a Float Pool RN at a Denver hospital-until a mysterious patient is rushed into her ER.
Found bleeding out in an alleyway after a ruthless attempt on his life, Elijah Black has no memory of who he is, save for the dark charisma and lethal instincts that linger in his bones. Late-night conversations, shared silences, and an undeniable, magnetic pull awaken something dangerous within Freya-a yearning she can no longer suppress.
But Elijah's forgotten past is far darker than either of them imagines. As fragments of his memory return, so do the shadows: debts, violent enemies, and a deadly truth that hits far too close to home.
Because Jacob isn't just Freya's cold-hearted husband. He's tied directly to the blood-soaked past Elijah is running from.
Forced to navigate a web of secrets and betrayal, Freya must make a devastating choice: stay in a suffocating life to protect her children, or surrender to a love that is raw, obsessive, and destined to burn her world to the ground.
