THE SILENCE CONTRACT

She built her future on the power of her voice...
Isabella Hartwell is the nation's most celebrated collegiate debate champion. Brilliant, disciplined, and impossible to defeat, she's spent years proving that words are her greatest weapon. But weeks before the biggest competition of her life, a sudden medical condition steals her voice and with it, everything she's worked for.

If she wants any chance of competing, she'll have to trust the last person she ever expected to need.

...and the only person who can help her has a reputation she can't afford to touch.

Dorian Vale was once a rising debate star until a scandal destroyed his future and turned him into the campus outcast everyone loves to blame. Smart, sharp-tongued, and carrying secrets of his own, Dorian agrees to become Isabella's interpreter-but only as a temporary arrangement.

What begins as a reluctant partnership soon becomes something far more dangerous.

As late-night practices blur into stolen moments and growing trust, Isabella discovers the truth behind Dorian's fall from grace. But when his past resurfaces and threatens to destroy her championship dreams, she's forced to choose between protecting her reputation and standing beside the one person who taught her that being heard has nothing to do with speaking.

Because some contracts are written in ink.

And some are written in silence.

A heartfelt college romance featuring slow-burn chemistry, emotional healing, forced proximity, a disgraced hero, a determined heroine, and a love story about finding your voice when everything else is taken away.
