Before Silence Breaks

He falls for the red flag.

Some red flags are warnings. Some are invitations.

Jackson “Jaxx” Rivers doesn’t come to Sable Coast looking for trouble.

He comes with a his motorbike, a duffel bag, and the kind of silence that follows a man after he buries the only person he ever stayed to protect.

With his mother gone and his father nothing but whiskey, fists, and a house Jaxx refuses to call home, the road should be enough. The engine, the corners, the coast opening in front of him. No questions. No memories he has to answer.

Then he walks into The Vesper House and sees Roxy on stage.

Red lipstick. Rough voice. Bad idea written all over her.

Roxy works another shift at The Crown Room, where Crown Security keeps the doors clean and the back rooms dirty. Callum Mercer offers protection to the city’s nightlife, but Jaxx learns fast that men like Callum don’t protect anything they don’t plan to own.

Roxy pulls Jaxx closer. The Crown makes him useful. And somewhere between rough nights, fast rides, and money he should never have taken, Jaxx starts confusing desire with devotion and danger with belonging.

Callum doesn’t like men he can’t control.

And Roxy has always wanted more than Jaxx knows how to give.

Before Silence Breaks is a dark romance prequel novella featuring a morally gray biker hero, toxic chemistry, criminal nightlife, betrayal, found-family beginnings, and explicit content.
