They say time heals all wounds. But some things were never meant to heal.
Hailey left the past buried, along with the ashes of everything she once loved. But when her father dies, grief pulls her back to the place that changed her forever. A college town still haunted by whispers, half-truths, and the shadow of a tragedy no one talks about anymore.
Everyone has moved on. Pretended it was an accident. Chosen to forget.
But Hailey remembers.
In a world of perfect smiles and polished lies, she starts to see through the cracks, secrets buried beneath friendship, power, and legacy. The deeper she digs, the more dangerous it becomes. What begins as a search for closure turns into something far darker, and Hailey finds herself facing the question no one else will ask:
What really happened that night?
A quiet storm of memory, justice, and reckoning, Hailey’s Promise is a slow-burn psychological thriller about how far we’ll go to protect those we love, and what happens when love turns into revenge.
Amy wasn’t supposed to fall for her neighbor, especially not the kind who keeps a gun in the drawer and secrets in his eyes.
Their first encounter? Mortifying. Her cat, Tommy, bolted straight into the wrong apartment and tore her claws into a man who looked like danger in a black shirt. Dominic Romano didn’t flinch. He just stood there in silence, watching her with the kind of stillness that makes a girl forget how to breathe.
Dominic is private. Intense. Always one step away from disappearing. So when Amy’s obsessive ex won’t take the hint, her best friend makes a split-second decision: She’s dating Dominic now. That one lie lights a match Amy can’t put out, because suddenly, Dominic is everywhere. At her door. In her thoughts. In her life.
What Amy doesn’t know is that Dominic is the hidden heir to a criminal dynasty. For years, he’s lived off the grid, protecting his family from the shadows. But now someone wants her gone, and he knows exactly why.
He was supposed to stay quiet.
She was supposed to stay safe.
Neither of them expected to burn.
Crowned in Silence is a dark, slow-burn mafia romance with high tension, explosive chemistry, found family, and a dangerously protective anti-hero who will raze the city to keep the woman he shouldn’t want.
He’s a top-tier streamer with a growth problem. She’s his manager’s sister with a rent problem. The solution? Fake dating.
Nick plays to millions, but lately the numbers stall. His agency pitches a fix: soft-launch a girlfriend and let the internet do the rest. Enter Rachel: newly back on her feet, sharp-tongued, and absolutely not content. The rules are simple: coffee dates, a few public hand-holds, no real feelings.
Perfect for fans of Ali Hazelwood and Tessa Bailey, this neon-bright, slow-burn rom-com serves gamer banter, found family, and open-door heat, plus an epilogue concert you’ll want to read twice.
