Silence, #1
by Freya Barker
Release Date: September 25th 2025
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Phyllis (Phil) Dubois has long left her performing days behind, opting for a more anonymous role in the music industry instead. Something not everyone is happy about.
When the pressure for her to return to the stage mounts, she packs her things in an old RV and hits the road in search of some peace and quiet.
She thinks she’s found it when she rolls into the small town of Silence.
Former sheriff, Brant Colter, is still trying to get used to his abrupt retirement after a health scare last year. He’s not good with change and likes things just the way they are.
That’s why, when a purple-haired hippie moves into the empty house down the road, he’s convinced trouble won’t be too far behind.
He’s not wrong. However, it’s not his annoyingly cheerful neighbor he should be worried about, but the danger that follows her to town.
