Veins of Silence

In a city where emotions can be measured like sound waves, Cécile Moreau, an empathic psychologist, makes a living by reading other people’s feelings. She knows their fears, their lies, their desires. Until she meets John Draven, a man with no emotional frequency — a living silence. He’s everything she despises: cold, unreadable, and dangerously detached. She’s everything he can’t afford: too alive, too perceptive, too close to his secret. But when circumstances force them to share the same roof, Cécile discovers the truth — John survives by absorbing the emotions of others. Between them grows an irresistible attraction, fueled by fear, anger, and desire. Every touch burns; every look threatens to unravel them both. While a secret network hunts empathic humans for their power, love becomes the most dangerous battlefield — one where betrayal saves lives, and every heartbeat could be the last.
