Whispers between pages (A slow burn romance)

In the quiet town of Maplehollow, where time moves gently and the scent of old books lingers in the air, Elena Ward arrives seeking peace — and maybe a new beginning. After a painful breakup left her guarded and weary, she finds solace in the town’s charming old library, where forgotten pages seem to understand her silence.



There, behind shelves of worn classics and soft lamplight, she meets Adrian Vale — a mysterious man with a quiet intensity and a past as hidden as the stories he shelves. Their connection is hesitant, built on borrowed glances, shared silences, and the fragile magic of books.



As the seasons change, so do their hearts. What begins as simple companionship grows into an emotional journey — one that neither of them expected. But Adrian harbors secrets he's not ready to share, and Elena’s heart, still healing, fears being broken again.



Together, they must decide: will they remain whispers in each other’s lives, or write a new chapter — one worth holding on to?
