RAISED BY SILENCE is a story of scars and secrets, love and loss, and the price of holding everything in - until it explodes.

Beneath her Quiet
Seventeen-year-old Imani has mastered the art of silence. On the outside, she's just another quiet girl with decent grades, a simple family and a polite smile. But behind closed doors, her world is crumbling. Her father's no longer in the picture. Her mother's love feels more like a battlefield than a home. And while most girls her age are worried about parties, hookups, how many likes they get on Instagram and crushes, Imani is cooking dinners, raising her five-year-old sister, and hiding a sadness that runs deeper than words. In a neighborhood that sees what it wants to see, Imani's pain goes unnoticed. Her drawings speak louder than her voice. Her poems know her truth. And the smoke she exhales is the only thing that makes her feel in control and grounded. Beneath her Quiet is a deeply emotional story about the quiet struggles so many teens carry in silence. It's about the weight of unspoken pain, the strength it takes to just keep going, and the hope that maybe someone will finally see her. For readers who connected with Euphoria or 13 Reasons Why, this story will pull you in, break your heart, and leave you rooting for the girl who's trying not to give up.
Until Evermore
If you're looking for a soft, drama-free romance... then this story isn't for you. Because this isn't the ending you might expect. It's something deeper, something that lingers long after the last page. This is an enemies-to-lovers slow burn, a love that began with tension, sharp words, and two people who genuinely couldn't stand each other. But hatred has a strange way of softening... and sometimes the person you never wanted becomes the person you can't let go of. For the first time in her life, she allowed herself to love fully, fearlessly, and without holding back. She gave him her heart, and he promised to protect it... until the day he became the one who shattered it. He taught her what it meant to fall deeply, hopelessly in love and then made her wish she had never believed in love at all. His betrayal didn't just break her; it rewrote everything she thought she knew about trust, loyalty, and forever. She lost pieces of herself she never imagined she could lose. She fell apart quietly, painfully... almost beyond repair. But this isn't just a story about heartbreak. It's a story about a girl who learns that even after the deepest wounds, the heart still remembers how to rise. Because sometimes the greatest love story we live is the one we learn to rebuild within ourselves. This is not the happily-ever-after you expect. It's raw. It's real. It lingers. Because sometimes, forever doesn't begin at the start... It begins Until Evermore. #Business #love #betrayal #slowburn #enemiestolovers
Choosing YOU
He was abandoned before he learned how to love - and she was thrown into his life by fate. Everyone thought they were just another arranged couple fumbling through married life.

He carried his wounds like shadows, quietly, stubbornly. Until the day he broke - and told her the truth. A child born without warmth of a mother. Left behind like a secret. Raised without love. She tried to fix it - she really did. But healing doesn't always come from the ones who hurt us. So instead, she offered him something else: Her hand. Her heart. Her vow to stay. This isn't a story about saving someone. It's about standing with them when no one else will. And loving them until they finally start to believe they're worthy of it.Complete
