Lovers Own the Silence -- Michael Watt, Paperback

Lovers Own the Silence is a haunting, slow-burn novel about secrets that refuse to stay buried, the seductive pull of power, and the quiet resilience of a woman on the edge of reinvention.

When a wealthy executive dies suddenly, single mother Grace Duffy finds herself drawn back into the shadows of her past-into a world of whispered betrayals, old debts, and dangerous alliances. As she tries to protect the life she's built for herself and her son, Grace is forced to confront a secret she once shared in a moment of weakness... and the widow who might use it to control her.

With a promotion on the line, a tempting offer she may not be able to refuse, and a magnetic man who stirs up everything she's trying to suppress, Grace must navigate a landscape where silence is currency-and love, loyalty, and ambition are all up for grabs.
