The Quiet One

di Cameron Lane (Autore)

Stone House Editions, 2025

In a town where silence lingers longer than conversation, two lives intersect without a sound—and everything begins to change. In the coastal town of Wintermere—where the wind whispers through abandoned storefronts and the chapel stands half-restored—a quiet man works with his hands and avoids being seen. Julian Vero isn't running. He's rebuilding. Piece by piece, stone by stone, he's giving new life to a place that once gave him sanctuary. He speaks little, but his presence echoes louder than words. Sera Linden arrives from the city with plans, a blueprint, and something to prove. Tasked with leading a revitalization project to breathe new life into Wintermere, she's confident, capable, and entirely focused. What she doesn't expect is the man she keeps encountering at the edges of her work—present but apart, observant but unreadable. Their connection doesn't begin with flirtation or friction. It begins in silence. In sidelong glances, long pauses, and the space between tasks. As the town resists change and memories surface like tide-worn relics, Sera and Julian find themselves drawn into a quiet orbit—neither chasing nor fleeing, simply moving toward something neither of them can yet name. Told in lyrical, emotionally restrained prose, The Quiet One is a slow-burning love story about presence, healing, and the subtle ways two people can transform each other without ever meaning to. It is about the things we carry, the words we don't say, and the gestures that speak volumes. A meditation on intimacy, grief, and quiet resilience, this is a novel for readers who believe the most powerful connections often speak in whispers. For fans of emotionally layered fiction, introspective romance, and small-town settings rich with atmosphere, The Quiet One offers a love story that doesn't shout. It listens. And lingers.
