Unspoken

Liana Dela Cruz has built her life around survival. A soft-spoken pharmacist and single mother, she spends her days behind a counter and her nights caring for everyone but herself. Beneath her calm exterior lies a woman trapped by trauma, obligation, and the unspoken secrets her mother will do anything to keep buried.
When Noah Vance walks into her life, he brings with him everything she's learned to avoid, youth, danger, and the kind of attention that strips her defenses bare. He's the tattooed heir to a tech empire, reckless but disarmingly gentle, drawn to Liana's quiet strength like a storm to still water.
But Noah carries his own shadows: a fractured family, a need for control, and a love that borders on obsession. Their worlds collide in a city that thrives on secrets, where silence can save, or destroy, everything they love.
As the line between protection and possession blurs, Liana must decide if love is her liberation... or her final cage.
