Above the Noise

At twenty-four, Aurora Hayes is a ghost in her own life. Haunted by a traumatic relationship that left her shattered, she's barely holding it together in a city that feels too loud and too fast. Her best friend's last-ditch effort is a name on a piece of paper: Dr. Jess Caldwell. A renowned therapist with an office on the 42nd floor, a place so high above the chaos it feels like another world.

From the moment Aurora walks into Jess's office, she finds something she hasn't felt in years: safety. In the quiet, luxurious space, with a woman who seems to understand the pieces of her without judgment, Aurora begins to heal. But as the weeks turn into months, the professional line between doctor and patient begins to blur. The safety Aurora feels starts to look a lot like something else-something deeper, more dangerous, and utterly forbidden.

What Aurora doesn't know is that Jess's life is far from the calm sanctuary she presents. She's married to Monica, a woman whose insecurities are a quiet, smoldering fire. And the moment Monica hears Aurora's name, that fire threatens to burn everything to the ground.

Three women, caught in a web of secrets, longing, and betrayal. One office, high above New York, where the most dangerous risks are the ones we take with our hearts.
