Beneath the Quiet

Summary:

Isabella "Izzy" Torres came to college to escape her past, not to be seen. Quiet, brilliant, and scarred by trauma no one knows about, she plans to keep her head down and disappear into textbooks and shadows. But everything changes when she crosses paths with Maddox Reyes-campus heartthrob, star quarterback, and the university's most elusive bad boy.

Reserved and intense, Maddox has demons of his own buried beneath his perfect image and the ink on his skin. He doesn't do small talk or second chances-but something about Izzy pulls him in. The way she flinches at noise. The way she doesn't look at him like everyone else does. The way she's trying so hard to survive.

Thrown into his world of loud teammates, hidden wounds, and unspoken rules, Izzy finds herself slowly unraveling the walls around her heart. But the closer she gets to Maddox, the harder it is to hide the truth she's run from her whole life-and the more dangerous it becomes to fall for someone who's been taught to never look back.

A story of slow-burning trust, found family, and healing through the gentlest touches in the loudest places-Beneath the Quiet is for every reader who's ever felt too broken to be loved... until someone sees them anyway.
