Set against the backdrop of World War I, The Quiet Between the Storms follows Caroline-a fierce, independent woman with no faith in love and a lifelong grudge against men. But when she meets Matheo, a kind and gentle soul with an unexpected warmth, her world begins to shift. Though she's reluctant to admit her feelings, their connection grows stronger with each passing moment. What begins as a reluctant attraction slowly transforms into a deep, undeniable love.

But in a world ruled by chaos and loss, not every love story is promised a happy ending. When fate strikes a cruel blow, Caroline is left to face the kind of heartbreak she never believed in-proving that even the deepest love can be born in the shortest moments, and lost just as quickly. There's more to this story than love-there's grief, growth, and the ache of learning to let go.All Rights Reserved

Reverie by Lakin0

"The quietest storms are the hardest to escape" Dear Readers, This novel is near and dear to my heart for a multitude of reasons. It follows Lia, a girl who finds herself entangled in a web of dangerous situations. A stalker ex boyfriend, and a new love interest to whom she is connected in unexpected ways, Lia is doing her best to navigate everyday life. As it turns out a stalker may be more than just a stalker and have deeper connections and intentions than anyone feared. This story is a culmination of experiences perhaps not directly derived from personal happenings but certainly driven from emotions I have personally experienced and have had for closest to me experience. With that said, a trigger warning must be placed on this story. SA, DV, and general violence. Please read at your own risk. And thank you to anyone who does.

The Silence Between Stars by Velinor2007

In a world where gods have fallen silent and magic bleeds from the cracks of dying lands, one man walks the line between creation and destruction. Serath, once a prodigy of forbidden power, lives as an outcast - haunted by the chaos within him and the sins that tore his world apart. His gift is a curse that unravels everything he touches. But when a divine storm awakens beneath the old ruins, he is forced to face the power he's spent his life running from. Guided by a luminous wanderer named Solenne and hunted by those who call him heretic, Serath's journey becomes one of survival, redemption, and quiet defiance. Through the ashes of gods and the shadows of his past, he must learn what it means to rebuild - not as a savior, but as someone who dares to hope again. The Silence Between Stars is a dark high-fantasy tale of trauma, healing, and the fragile beauty of starting over. It's about the things we carry when the world forgets us - and the light we can still create, even when it hurts to shine. For readers who love stories with mythic weight, slow-burning emotion, and the haunting quiet of redemption.

Silence and the Storm by therealraymundtamayo

Gardo Reyes is a gentle giant, a man of immense strength who lives in a constant state of quiet control. A failed super-soldier experiment left him with a terrifying gift: his body absorbs kinetic energy, charging him like a living battery. The more he is attacked, the more powerful he becomes, but this power demands a catastrophic, explosive release. He is a walking apocalypse, and his greatest fear is the collateral damage of his own survival. He is a fortress of silence. Liway Martinez is a reclusive artist, a woman of ethereal beauty who believes she is a curse. She is a powerful empath whose emotions can warp the very fabric of reality, unleashing cascades of impossible "bad luck" on those around her. She has spent her life on the run from a power she cannot control, a chaotic storm hidden behind a fragile, graceful exterior. In a quiet coastal town, these two broken souls find a sanctuary in each other. He is the only person whose silence can calm her inner storm. She is the only one who sees the gentle man, not the monster. But when a ruthless, clandestine government agency, the PCOD, comes to claim Liway as their asset, their fragile peace is shattered. Forced on the run, their monstrous secrets are revealed to each other in the most brutal way imaginable. They discover that their powers, while dangerously compatible, are also their only hope for survival. He is the anchor; she is the tempest. To stay alive, the man of silence must embrace his explosive power, and the woman who is a storm must learn to aim the hurricane. Silence and the Storm is a super-powered romance about two people who can save the world, but are terrified they might destroy each other in the process. [Biyayaverse Book 4]

The Storm Between Us by xoxsmb

Ciri never expected to see Nathan again - her brother's best friend, the boy who used to linger in the edges of her world. He's changed now: distant, closed off, carrying more than he'll ever admit. So has she. What begins as awkward small talk soon becomes something neither of them can name - a quiet pull that feels both inevitable and wrong. 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. Tender, honest, and hauntingly real, The Storm Between Us is a story about love that doesn't try to fix you - only asks you to stay.

The Quiet Between Us by SoraquillX

It's a story about love that once felt like home - and how silence slowly took its place. Told from the eyes of someone who still loves her, The Quiet Between Us follows the painful journey of holding on, losing yourself, and learning what love means when words stop coming. It begins with five days of no contact - days filled with regret, hope, and aching memories of how things used to be. Through twenty long, honest chapters, the story unfolds the truth of what happens when love turns into exhaustion, when the person you love needs to rest from loving you, and when you have to decide whether to keep waiting or start healing. This isn't just a story of heartbreak - it's a story of change. Of learning how to love gently. Of realizing that sometimes, love doesn't end; it just grows differently. Tragic, soft, and painfully real - The Quiet Between Us is about two people who loved each other deeply, but forgot how to stay without breaking apart.
