When Hearts Roam: Whispered Promises

By Vera Sladez

When Hearts Roam - Whispered Promises
(Book Two in the When Hearts Roam Series)

Coming home was never part of the plan.

After years of silence, Clara Hartley returns to the coastal town of Willow Cove carrying unfinished music and a past shaped by betrayal. Invited to help restore the historic Harrington House and contribute to a community music festival, she hopes to stay invisible-but the sea remembers her, and so does Julian Reed.

Julian is a quiet sound artist who listens for what others miss: the hush between waves, the music hidden inside silence. Guarded by his own past, he has learned to keep his heart at a distance.

When Clara and Julian begin collaborating on a piece for the festival, their work becomes something deeper than music. It becomes a connection built on trust, healing, and the courage to be seen. But in a town full of stories, old wounds resurface, and Clara must decide whether she will retreat once more-or risk her heart and her voice for a love that feels like home.

A tender, slow-burn romance about second chances, creative healing, and the quiet bravery of staying.

Some hearts don't need to roam forever. Some just need to be heard.
