Sound and Silence

Riot Arden is one headline away from prison.

In order to stay out of trouble, he returns home to the quiet beach town he swore he'd never see again. No crowds or chaos. Just the ocean and silence that lets old ghosts sing louder.

Then he meets the perfect distraction with pink hair and sad eyes—Eloise Marquette.

She’s only twenty-two years old and the classical world's rising star. Now she wants guitar lessons from the one person she shouldn't.

Riot Arden is the man every warning label was written for. Except Eloise missed the memo.

Each lesson drags them closer. Fingers on strings turn to late nights, shared secrets, and tender caresses. But every stolen kiss comes with a price—and soon, it will unravel everything they’ve worked for.

Will it destroy the one thing that's starting to feel like redemption?

Forbidden age-gap romance. Bad-boy rockstar. Concert-pianist heroine. Small-town summer heat. HEA.
