Love at the Edge of Silence

A heart-shattering contemporary romance about two souls who find each other at the edge of their breaking points. When high-powered Boston attorney Claire Madison steps into a fertility clinic, she expects answers. Instead, she receives a verdict that unravels the future she thought she wanted. Unable to face the expectations of her career, her family, or herself, she escapes to a windswept cottage on the Vermont coast—hoping anonymity will hurt less than disappointment. Then she sees the lighthouse. And the man who lives beside it. Daniel Hale, a former philosophy professor turned solitary lighthouse keeper, has built a life defined by silence, routine, and the safety of emotional distance. His past is marked by regret; his present, by deliberate seclusion. He isn't looking for anyone—especially not someone like Claire, whose presence unsettles the quiet world he has so carefully constructed. But when Claire wanders onto his land and into his life, their two solitudes collide. What begins as wary curiosity turns into conversations by firelight, long walks along the rugged coastline, and a tenderness neither of them expected. Yet both carry wounds that love alone cannot heal—her fear of a future without motherhood, his fear of repeating the failures of his past. With summer fading and reality closing in, Claire must decide whether the life she left behind is worth returning to… and Daniel must confront whether solitude is truly safer than taking a second chance on love. Love at the Edge of Silence is a deeply emotional, slow-burn romance about reinvention, forgiveness, and the courage to choose the life that calls to you—even when it leads you into the unknown.
