When the Quiet Blooms

Adalyn Brooks has loved Robbie Sinclair since she was sixteen. There have been years of stolen glances, unanswered texts, and the ache of never being enough. Since she was sixteen, Robbie was her dream, her first love, her heartbreak, but you can't dream forever because eventually reality sets in.

Now, as an adult, she returns to her small town of Gatsing and is ready to rewrite her story. She's done waiting, she's done hoping. What she doesn't is Elias' heart.

Elias has always been there in the background, in the quiet moments, in the spaces Robbie never bothered to fill. He's the man she never noticed, the one who watched her fall apart, yet looked away.

When Adalyn Brook returns home and finds the quiet boy she grew up with working for her father, and is not such a boy anymore. As the two grow closer, Elias begins to show Adalyn what it feels like to be truly seen and wanted.

In Elias Adalyn finds a man who listens when she speaks, remembers the things she forgets, and looks at her like she's the only thing that's ever made sense.

Will Adalynn keep chasing the boy who never chose her, or finally embrace the man who's been choosing her all along?
