"I was told silence would save us. But my voice kills."
In a city where sound is outlawed, Selene Vox is the girl who was never meant to speak...
Selene Vox has spent ten years in silence-locked away, chained by a collar that burns if she tries to speak. They say her voice can kill. They're right.
But when a cold-eyed enforcer drags her out of the shadows and a boy from her past whispers her name...
Everything starts to break.
Now Selene must choose: remain silent and survive-
Or speak and start a war.
A lyrical dystopian fantasy for fans of Shatter Me, Delirium, and The Hunger Games.
⚠️ Trigger warnings: isolation, captivity, emotional trauma

She walks quietly over to the bathroom door, her steps almost silent on the soft carpet beneath her feet. She stops just a few feet away, the bathroom door in front of her, the water running steadily inside. She debates with herself for a moment, hesitating. Is it too intrusive to fucking peek? Would Selene even care? The thoughts swirl, but Ayla's curiosity gets the best of her. She leans closer to the door, her heart beating faster as she edges just a little closer, trying to catch a glimpse of what's happening inside. But before she can get too close, a voice, soft yet commanding, calls out from the bathroom. "You've got a lot of damn questions, don't you?" Ayla freezes, her breath caught in her throat, heart skipping a beat. Selene's voice is smooth, unaffected, as though she knew exactly what Ayla was thinking. Ayla straightens, a flush creeping up her neck, realizing she's been caught. "I-uh-I wasn't..." She stumbles for words, feeling embarrassed but also strangely intrigued. "I didn't mean to-" Selene interrupts her, though there's no judgment in her tone, just that same quiet confidence. "It's fine. Curiosity is natural." The sound of water splashing softly echoes through the door, followed by the soft clink of glass-likely the sound of Selene setting something down. Ayla hesitates for a moment before speaking, her voice quieter now. "Are you... are you okay in there?" Selene's chuckle reaches Ayla, low and almost amused. "I'm perfectly fine, little fox, You should be more concerned with your own safety than my bath." To be continued.......

Feeling things. And somewhere deep beneath the surface, something powerful is waking up. They told her she was clean. Controlled. Safe. But Rowen knows what she is now. A weapon. A mistake. A girl meant to shatter. And the only person who sees her as anything more... Is the boy who never stops talking, and never once looked away.

Dark Paradise | Aaron Warner ✓
#1 in Aaron Warner Amelia Pereira has always been a dreamer. Dreamer, fangirl, scholar, chronic over-thinker. She knows the story by heart: Juliette Ferrars, the girl who can't be touched. Aaron Warner, the cold tyrant with sad eyes and green rings. So, when reality hiccups and Amelia finds herself plopped- face first- onto the cold concrete of Sector 45, she's pretty sure she's hallucinating. Or dying. Or both. Unfortunately for her GPA-and possibly her lifespan-she's not dreaming. The soldiers are real. The guns are real. The stains on the walls? Very real. And standing in front of her, beautiful as a nightmare made of marble and secrets, is Aaron Warner himself-green eyes sharp enough to slice through every spoiler Amelia accidentally blurts out in a panic spiral. Trapped in a world she only ever adored from the safety of fanfiction and Pinterest edits, Amelia has to survive Warner's suspicion, Juliette's power, and the Reestablishment's cruelty-armed with nothing but her messy knowledge of plot points that haven't happened yet. He's not a sad boy on a page anymore. He's real. He's lethal. He can feel every terrified, fluttering emotion she has when she looks at him. And the closer Amelia drifts to the cold center of his empire, the more she realizes that loving him in fiction was easy. Loving him here is changing the story. TW: There are a few mentions of childhood physical abuse in this book DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE CHARACTERS IN THIS BOOK APART FROM THE OC.

𝐘𝐚𝐳𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚 𝐈𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐡𝐢𝐦 - daughter of the Supreme Commander of Asia, sister to the Ibrahim twins, and a weapon disguised as a diplomat. Raised to follow orders. Sent to spy. Trained to keep her heart locked behind steel. But there are cracks in the armor now - questions she was never supposed to ask, truths she was never meant to know. 𝐊𝐞𝐧𝐣𝐢 𝐊𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐨 - survivor of too many battles, former soldier of a fallen resistance, and the steady voice beside a commander still learning how to lead. He's lost homes, friends, and hope more times than he can count - but something about her makes him pause. Makes him wonder if there's still something worth saving. They meet on opposite sides of a lie. But when secrets unravel and war threatens to tear everything apart, Yazmina and Kenji find themselves drawn to each other in a way neither of them can explain - or resist. This isn't a love story. This isn't a simple story of enemies to allies. It's a story about finding yourself in the wreckage. About the quiet rebellion of choosing love in a world that teaches you to hate. About surviving - and then, finally, learning how to live. The war isn't over. But maybe, just maybe - something better begins here.

Men of Iron - Book 3: Hunted by Her Heat
When a girl with fire in her veins storms into Ash Flats, she doesn't come to beg. She comes barefoot, bleeding, and furious - with a photo of her sister's attacker and a demand for blood. But when her rage collides with the silence of the Men of Iron, she becomes more than grief with a voice. She becomes the spark none of them can contain. Knuckles doesn't waste words. Doesn't bend. Doesn't break. As the Forge Master, he's the one who turns fire into steel - the hammer that tempers, the iron that endures. But the girl isn't afraid of his silence. She's afraid of what happens when he looks at her like he's already claimed her. She burns in fury. He waits in silence. And the more they fight to stay apart, the more they ignite something neither can control. But grief doesn't fade quietly. And the enemy hunting her doesn't care if she's branded or bound. In a world built on blood, fire, and ghosts - sometimes the most dangerous thing isn't the war outside the gates... It's the girl who dares the Forge Master to burn.Complete
