The Quiet Hours

Thirty-year-old Freya Cummings has been married to her high school sweetheart, Jacob, for ten years- a marriage forged on familiarity and obligation more than love.
Once passionate teenagers, they've become strangers under the same roof under society's pressures of being stable mentally, financially, and emotionally while raising two children.

Jacob Cummings is emotionally absent, sometimes cruel, and always dismissive of Freya's dreams of becoming more than just a wife and mother to their two young children.
Now a Registered Nurse at the Denver hospital working in the Float Pool, Freya lives in quiet numbness- until a mysterious patient, Jameson, is admitted to her ER with injuries from a serious murder attempt in an alleyway and has no memory of who he is.

Elijah Black is darkly charismatic, haunted by fragments of a past he can't piece together, and Freya finds herself drawn to him in ways she never expected. Their bond deepens during the late night hours- conversations, silences, unspoken yearning- until she can't deny he is awakening something in her that had laid dormant for so long.

But, Elijah's past is far darker than either of them can even imagine. As his memory slowly starts to return, so do the shadows: debts, enemies, and a violent truth that could destroy everything. Freya must choose between a life that is safe and suffocating to protect her children, and a love that is raw, dangerous, and possibly doomed to break her. In all the best ways.
