She thought she was choosing. Choosing to stay after class. Choosing to ask questions. Choosing to admire the woman everyone feared. But some choices are never really yours. Professor Celeste Laurent was brilliant, untouchable, and impossible to read. Students respected her. Faculty trusted her. No one questioned the silence that followed wherever she walked. Then Maya Carter arrived. A twenty-year-old engineering student who believed she could solve anything if she thought long enough. She was wrong. As admiration slowly becomes dependence, and dependence quietly becomes obsession, Maya begins to lose something far more valuable than her freedom. Herself. Some stories are about falling in love. This one is about disappearing.

After fleeing her abusive ex in the middle of the night, Chloe Dawson arrives in a small coastal town with nothing but a duffel bag, a crying six-month-old baby, and the last of her savings. She rents a tiny apartment where the walls are paper-thin. Next door lives Sergeant Mason Kane, disciplined, exhausted, emotionally closed off, and currently on leave between military assignments. After years in the army, silence is the only thing that helps him sleep. Then the baby starts crying every night. At first, Mason is irritated. Chloe is terrified of him. Every knock on the door reminds her of the man she escaped.
