Can he make himself heard in her silent world?
​
Carli Jameson grew up in a world without sound. Raised in an all-Deaf family, she worked hard to prove those with hearing loss can still be successful. When she meets Blake Wentworth, she knows from their first conversation he’ll never understand how she’s caught between two worlds and struggles to find acceptance.
​
Pediatrician at a large Boston hospital, Blake has learned how to carry the weight of his wealthy parents’ expectations for perfection. When his nephew is diagnosed with a hearing loss, and his brother is pressured to ‘fix’ the problem, Blake steps in to help.
​
As they team up to arrange services for his nephew, they discover more than they bargained for and an unexpected attraction. They hit obstacles at every turn, including his family who see her as ‘damaged’. Refusing to be defeated, can Carli and Blake escape the judgement to discover a place where their love is allowed?

feeling about this tragedy? Do you really understand the implications of being deaf in this world?
I don’t think you can unless you’ve been through it yourself.”
​
“Dr. Wentworth, I know I may be young and, in your mind, too inexperienced for this job. But I will tell you
this: I do understand. I understand much more than you ever could.”
Reaching up, she pushed aside her hair on both sides. His eyes narrowed. His expression scrunched in
confusion, but then understanding dawned. As his mouth fell open, his eyes widened in embarrassment.
Now that her hair was out of the way, the curved processors over the tops of her ears were in full view.
And they were attached to the magnets that connected to her bilateral cochlear implants.
