NONVERBAL


She only wanted a fleeting connection. But with him, nothing is as superficial as it seems…


Paige is trapped in an abusive family. To escape mentally, she obsesses about EDM and something she has yet to experience: a satisfying physical connection with a man. Her simple goal seems within reach when she finds an unexpected spark with her best friend’s brother...until he puts up firms walls between them.


Brody is a dedicated bachelor focused solely on his sister’s well-being. But when Paige suddenly moves in, she upends Brody's life and makes him question his entire stance on relationships. Their chemistry is undeniable. Yet, his sister made Paige off-limits, and one wrong move could send his sister’s fragile mental health spiraling.


As Paige is drawn to Brody’s caring nature and safe presence, her deep-seated trust issues and fear of her family cause serious anguish. And Brody already knows he’s fallen for Paige. But admitting his feelings would only hurt his sister and might be more than what Paige is looking for.


Keeping his distance is for the best. But letting her go means worrying about her very life…


An intense and uplifting own voices romance with characters you'll want to hug one after the other—perfect for fans of Aly Martinez.
