Whispered Promises

I’ve been alone my whole life. That part I can handle.

It’s the grief that’s breaking me.

After losing the only person who ever chose me, I’m running on empty, tending my rescue farm, fighting my anxiety, and lying awake at 3am pretending I’m fine. I don’t need saving. I just need to survive.

Then four men step into my life.

Nate, who scowls at everyone except me.
Noah, who sits with me in the quiet and never asks for more than I can give.
Brynn, who learns my favourite foods and makes sure I never go without.
And Max, who treats making me laugh like it’s the most important job he’s ever had.

I didn’t ask for any of this, but warmth has a way of getting in.

The problem is, not everyone circling my life has good intentions. Some people want what I have.
And some will take it, regardless of the consequences or the hurt it causes.

Will it be possible for us all to forgive and forget, or will we forever drown in fear and heartache? Or maybe we'll never get the chance to know.
Whispered Promises is a spicy, medium burn, MFMMM why choose romance. It's the first in the Not Yours Duet and ends on a cliffhanger. For mature readers, and parts may be triggering. The second in the duet is a darker read.
