When Deniro leaves his life in Manhattan behind, he isn't chasing success - he's escaping the noise.
He finds himself in Winhaven, a quiet village tucked between the woods and the railway lines, where time moves like fog.
There, he meets Elara, a gentle soul with eyes that see more than they say; Giussepe, an aging Italian painter who once believed art could save a man; and Humo, the stray cat that decides to stay.
Through writing, silence, and the rediscovery of music, Deniro begins to heal.
He learns that we can't truly leave the past behind - we can only listen to it long enough to understand it.
A poetic, human story about love, ego, memory, and the quiet art of coming back to yourself.
Because sometimes the soul just needs a place to stay - before it learns to sing again.

The Bitter Dance of Hollow Hearts
One girl, haunted by demons she never asked for. One girl, holding onto a dream with bleeding hands. One girl, clinging to a life she never was supposed to survive. One girl-and one infuriating woman she was never meant to meet. Aurora Winters, 18, soft-spoken and sweet like spring rain, begins her second last first day of senior year. The wreckage of a car crash last Christmas stole what little safety she had left-leaving her in the bitter care of an aunt who never wanted her and a man who only knows cruelty. Bruised, quiet, alone and unraveling, Aurora is trying to survive the storm. But survival becomes complicated when a certain woman enters the picture. Valentina M. Harlow, 37, new to this part of town, new to the school, old to the weight of the world. Once a sweet girl who ached to be seen, now a woman shaped by silence and cold resolve. Sharp-tongued, guarded, emotionally untouchable, manipulative and entirely disinterested in attachments. She is the oldest daughter who walked away-from blood and businesses, from love, from everything that broke her. It's been seven years since she last let herself feel. And she likes it that way. Until Aurora. What begins as uneasy glances and sharp conversations becomes something far harder to ignore. Valentina sees the pain in the girl's eyes. The bruises beneath the surface. And suddenly, the woman who feels nothing is faced with a choice: walk away as she always has, or reach out-risking everything. This is a tale of longing and danger, where hearts shatter, wounds heal, and reopen. Again and again. A story of two women who were never meant to orbit, yet crash into each other anyway. A story of it all. Of longing that feels like ruin. Of aching that feels like home. Of broken things that refuse to stay broken. A slow unraveling, a dangerous pull. A love that could save-or destroy-them both. Maybe they'll piece themselves back together. And set the world on fire, together.
The Way You Heal Me
Description She swore love was something that only broke people apart. He swore he'd prove her wrong. Scarred by the past, Elara has built walls so high no one dares to climb them. She doesn't believe in fairytales, soulmates, or second chances. All she wants is to survive quietly without anyone getting close enough to hurt her again. But then she meets Aidrien-warm, stubborn, and relentless in all the ways she isn't. He sees through every shield she hides behind, and instead of walking away, he stays. With every word, every touch, every moment, he begins to show her a truth she's never known: that love can be gentle, that it can heal, that maybe, just maybe, she's worth saving. In a story of broken pieces, fragile hearts, and the courage to love again- he isn't the storm that shatters her. He's the way she heals.Complete

Open Book
Maeve thought starting over would feel like freedom. Instead, it feels like silence. New city. Empty apartment. A dream café waiting to open its doors. Then, one rainstorm and a stranger with an umbrella. Jude is an artist who seems to notice Maeve in ways no one else does. His quiet sketches, his unexpected appearances, his patience. Maeve swore she wasn't looking for love-not while fighting her own shadows. But some stories don't wait to be written. In a city of coffee and rain, can Maeve learn to see herself as clearly as he does?
Between Quiet and Gold
They grew up on the same street. Jude was the boy who always carried a camera around his neck, and Jules was the girl who painted everything she couldn't say. Their friendship started with laughter shared snacks after school, afternoons spent chasing sunsets, and long walks home where their shadows always touched before their hands ever did. At sixteen, they both discovered something unspoken. The kind of pull that made ordinary moments feel cinematic the way he'd brush paint off her cheek, or she'd fix his collar before a photograph. Neither of them called it love, but everyone around could feel it humming quietly. Then came the summer that changed everything. Jude's parents moved away suddenly a new job, a new city. They promised to write, to call, to never forget. But time happened numbers changed, addresses got lost, and life moved faster than they could hold on. Years passed. Jules poured herself into her art her canvases became her diary. Jude built a name for himself in travel photography every frame a silent search for something familiar he couldn't name. Neither of them knew that the other still looked for pieces of their old laughter in strangers. Now, ten years later, fate quietly folds the distance between them. Her art exhibition Between Quiet and Gold opens in the city where he now freelances. He doesn't plan to go at first. But one photo he took an old sketch he kept from her pulls him in. And suddenly, there he is, standing in a room filled with her colors, realizing she has been painting him all along.
Insomnia
Maria Garme has always found solace in words. Poetry spills from her like a confession, each stanza stitched with longing, loss, and the quiet ache of a girl who has spent her life on the outside looking in. She doesn't expect anyone to truly understand her-not her absent mother, not her well-meaning but struggling father, and certainly not the enigmatic boy who watches her from across the room at poetry night. Abel Iglesias is all sharp edges and unspoken pain, a storm bottled up in a boy who drowns his emotions in music and midnight skating. The city is his escape, the stars his only witnesses-until Maria steps into his world. Their connection is undeniable, intense, and terrifying. But love doesn't come easy for two people who have spent their lives running from their pasts. When secrets unravel and fear pushes them apart, Maria and Abel are forced to confront the truth: love is beautiful, but it is also heavy. And sometimes, the weight of it is enough to break you. Under the city lights, between whispered poetry and quiet confessions, they must decide-will they keep running, or will they find a way back to each other before it's too late? A raw, lyrical, and deeply emotional story about love, healing, and the echoes we leave in the hearts of those who truly see us.Complete
Almond
"Some people teach you how to speak again. Others make you wish you'd stayed silent." _____ Almond A quiet love. A buried past. A story that will leave you aching. She doesn't talk much-not about the things that matter. Not about the names she still can't say aloud. Not about the night that changed everything. She just wants to breathe without breaking. To disappear into the background and not be noticed. But He notices her. Gentle where others push, patient where others pry-he doesn't ask her to open up. He just stays. And sometimes, that's louder than words. But love is never simple. And even the softest hearts have storms waiting inside them. "A soft love story wrapped in ache, healing, and unspoken words. Walk with me through the quiet chaos of two broken hearts trying to find their way. You won't regret it." -----
