Ivy Callahan hasn't spoken in two years.
Silence is the only thing that's ever kept her safe-from her father's rage, her mother's addiction, and a world that never cared enough to listen.
Then Rowan Blake transfers to her school. He's patient, kind, and haunted by his own past. Where others hear nothing, Rowan hears everything she's too scared to say.
In a town full of noise and secrets, two broken souls learn that sometimes, the quiet between them is where the healing begins.

EMBRACING HER FLAWS
Ivy never thought healing could come from a place wrapped in white walls and quiet beeping machines. Haunted by a painful past, a broken home, and her own insecurities especially her struggle with mispronouncing words she's spent most of her life trying to blend into the background. Until one quiet hospital room changes everything. There, she meets Kaizer a boy with a rare condition, a calm demeanor, and eyes that seem to see right through her. He doesn't ask questions. He doesn't judge. He simply listens. And for the first time in a long while, Ivy finds herself slowly coming undone in the safety of his silence. As their connection deepens, Ivy starts to feel seen in ways she never expected. But reality is never too far behind. Secrets, emotional wounds, and a home that feels more like a prison keep pulling her back. Caught between the darkness she knows and the light she's learning to accept, Ivy must choose: stay in the comfort of numbness or embrace the painful beauty of growth. "Embracing Her Flaws" is a story of quiet healing, messy emotions, and finding light in the most unexpected places even in the middle of the night, inside a hospital room, with someone who simply understands.Complete

Obsess, Quiet, Ache.
He was quiet. She was loud. And neither of them knew how to survive the ache. In their final year of university, Rowan Park is a study in silence-meticulous, obsessive, and desperately trying to stay in control. But when Juniper Reyes stumbles back into his life, loud and unbothered and tattooed like temptation, everything cracks. They were never friends. Not really. Mutual friends. Mutual glances. Mutual curiosity. Now they're locked in a slow-burn that's not just tension-it's torment. She's chaos wrapped in glitter. He's stillness built to break. And the ache between them? It's sick. It's filthy. It's unavoidable. What starts as a game of restraint becomes an obsession neither of them can quiet-until all that's left is how they ruin each other... softly, loudly, and deliciously. One bed. No rules. All ache. This isn't a love story. This is what happens when silence finds its noise-and decides it wants to fuck it.Complete
