The Man Without Secrets

Leanne has always been afraid of touching others. At 26, she works in a quiet library and harbors a secret: when she touches someone, she hears their deepest, darkest fears. The world is a minefield of secrets—and she has spent her life avoiding them. Then Aryan appears. When their hands meet, she hears nothing. No secret. No fear. No past. Just silence. For the first time, Leanne meets someone who isn't screaming in her head—and yet, this silence terrifies her more than any secret. As their relationship deepens, Leanne discovers that Aryan is no ordinary man. He is the product of a secret experiment, an artificial consciousness learning how to become human. But the laboratory that created him is after him—and the closer they get, the greater the danger. Caught between fear, love, and loyalty, Leanne must make an impossible choice: protect Aryan and risk losing her safe, isolated life—or surrender him to a fate that will erase everything he has become. "The Man Without Secrets" is a moving story about love, trust, and the fragile boundary between humanity and creation—a novel that questions whether a person without a past can truly become human, and whether a woman who knows everyone's secrets can learn to trust again.
