Sloane Black has everything-power, land, wealth, respect. At forty-two, she commands empires and lives alone in a glass house on her vast Cotswolds estate, surrounded by the horses she loves more than any person. Her life is built on control, on never needing anyone. It is a life of perfect, suffocating silence.
Wren Hartley has nothing-no freedom, no voice, no future that belongs to her. At twenty-six, she is a talented veterinarian trapped in a family of doctors who cannot understand her, hiding her true self from everyone she loves. Her life is built on pleasing, on surviving. It is a life of quiet, desperate suffocation.
Their worlds collide at Blackwood Estate. What begins as a job becomes an intimacy neither of them wanted. Two women who have spent their lives performing for others-one performing strength, the other performing obedience.
But the world is not ready for them.
Families will crumble. Secrets will surface. And they will lose almost everything before they find each other.
This is a story about the shape of silence-how it bends, how it breaks, and how it finally shatters.
It is about two women who forgot they had voices.
And the terrifying freedom of finally being seen.

When twenty four year old Alyssa Blair moves abroad to study biology, she doesn't expect her quiet life to collide with someone like Natasha Harlow- a thirty six year old businesswoman with sharp edges and stone cold walls.

As their worlds begin to overlap, an unspoken connection forms- slow, hesitant, and entirely impossible to ignore. Set in the 2000s, Soft Spot is a tender age-gap slow burn about timing, restraint, and the quiet ways two people can change each other without meaning to.
