Secrets in the Silence

What if the biggest secret at school was also the most fragile heart? Florence has always been invisible-the quiet, book-loving girl who fades into the background. She's learned it's safer not to be seen. No drama, no heartbreak. Just survive high school and move on. Eric? He's the opposite. Popular, confident, the golden boy of the football team. The kind of guy who dates cheerleaders, not girls who write poetry in the library. So when an unexpected spark ignites between them, it's something neither of them can explain... or resist. They agree to keep it a secret. No one can know. Not their friends, not their families. Especially not the ones who would never understand. But secrets have a way of unraveling-and Florence is starting to feel more than she planned. What began as a harmless fling begins to shift into something deeper, more dangerous. Florence promised herself she wouldn't fall. She wouldn't get attached. But what if falling for someone means finally feeling seen? And what if Eric has secrets of his own... ones that could change everything? A heart-tugging romance about first love, hidden truths, and the risks we take when we dare to feel. Perfect for fans of slow-burn romance, emotional twists, and the thrill of forbidden connection.
