After the Silence

By Laura Carpenter

Eliza never planned to return.
Not to the city that knew her name. Not to the life she escaped. And definitely not to James--whose silence after their breakup left scars that never healed.
But when a major film production pulls Eliza into the spotlight again, the past comes looking for payment. James is older now, sharper, guarded--and still the one man who can read Eliza's breath like a confession.
There's only one problem.
Lucy.
Eliza's daughter. Her whole world. And the secret that can't survive the pressure of cameras, contracts, and the people who profit from a perfect story.
As rumours ignite and control tightens around them, Eliza and James face the question they've both avoided for years:
Do they keep protecting themselves...
or do they finally protect what they made together?
After the Silence is a heart-tight, cinematic second-chance romance about regret, redemption, and the kind of love that doesn't just come back--
it fights.
Tropes: second chance - secret child - forced proximity - celebrity / film world - protective hero - emotional family healing
