Fifteen year old Kairi Bennett has spent most of his life in and out of foster homes, learning how to survive by staying quiet and expecting little. When he's placed with Elias and Rowan Lane, two dads who seem too patient, too steady, and too kind to be real, he doesn't know what to do with it.
He's not used to safety.
He's not used to being seen.
And he's never really believed that people stay.
But sometimes the smallest moments-quiet breakfasts, a ride home after school, a voice that says "you're okay here"-can start to change everything.

Our Little Bear
In a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by war, humanity has become a weaponized shadow of its former self. Children are stripped of names, raised in brutal compounds, and trained from birth to be soldiers. Emotions are weakness. Compassion is treason. Survival is everything. Seventeen-year-old #M46880-known to no one as Jamie-is the kind of soul this world was designed to crush. Small, gentle, and mute from years of abuse, Jamie has survived longer than anyone expected. But when he's pulled from his desolate compound by beings humanity has long feared-immortal watchers from another realm-his story doesn't end. It begins. In a world where time flows differently and immortals live in quiet harmony, Jamie is still a child. There, he's adopted by Rowan and Ezra Hale, a devoted couple who see not a soldier, but a boy in need of love. As Jamie begins to heal in their home of soft blankets, music, and warmth, he faces a new challenge: learning how to be safe when all he's ever known is survival.

More Than Silence
They've always been two halves of the same whole-one loud, one quiet, but somehow perfectly in sync. Twin brothers Kai and Isaac have never needed words to understand each other. Kai is nonverbal, but Isaac has always been his voice, his translator, his fiercest defender. And Isaac? Isaac takes up space unapologetically, figuring out who he is and refusing to shrink for anyone. But when he meets Conrad, questions about his identity emerge-ones he's not sure he's ready to answer. Growing up together means laughter, chaos, and sometimes anger-but it also means facing the world as they are, even when it isn't ready for them. Kai is fighting to prove that silence is not the same as being unheard, and Isaac is learning that being himself is not up for debate. Through love, heartbreak, and every lesson life throws their way, More Than Silence is a story about identity, family, and the kind of bond that doesn't need words to be unbreakable. Prepare to laugh. Prepare to cry. And prepare to never look at brotherhood the same way again.Complete
