Silently Falling

The night Ashlyn Hughes crashed her car, she didn't just wreck a vehicle-she shattered the girl everyone thought they knew.

Gone were the parties, the designer clothes, and the spotlight she'd once lived beneath. In their place came oversized hoodies, dusty library shelves, and a silence she wore like armor.

The school never stopped talking.

Why did she disappear?

What happened that night?

But some secrets are easier to bury than survive.

Then came Xavier Vincent.

The boy with the easy smile, the perfect jump shot, and a reputation that made everyone look twice. To the rest of the world, he was untouchable.

But behind his guarded eyes lived a loneliness that mirrored her own.

Two broken hearts.

One story neither of them is ready to tell.

And a truth that might ruin them both before it sets them free.
