Excerpt Reveal: Craving Silence by Freya Barker

 

Title: Craving Silence (Silence, #5) Author: Freya Barker Genre: Romantic Suspense Release Date: October 16, 2026 Hosted by: Buoni Amici Press, LLC.

Nurse practitioner, Dana Kerrigan, finds her steady and comfortably predictable life suddenly turned upside down as the result of a family emergency. With no choice but to take a leave from work, she has to hustle to keep Silence’s favorite pub running and her parents looked after. When heartbreak brings with it an unexpected opportunity to realize a long-held dream, it presents a new set of problems. One that involves murder, and the man sent to investigate.

As a recent transplant to Silence, sheriff’s detective, Rick Althof, was aiming for less stress and more solitude. Instead, he finds himself frequently drawn to The Kerrigan, a popular pub in town, to enjoy a meal, a beer, and—if lucky—a friendly chat with the owner’s pretty daughter. Still bearing the invisible scars of past mistakes, he’s determined to keep things friendly, despite a growing attraction. However, his resolve is put to the test when she lands in the middle of an elaborate development scheme involving bribery, blackmail, and even murder.

“What’s the deep sigh for?” he asks from his perch on the ladder, as I fold the last of the towels. “It’s a satisfied sigh,” I explain, picking up the stack of laundry to carry upstairs. “The kind that comes with being able to check a box off my list.” A faint smile appears on his lips. “You’ll have another to check off soon,” he offers. “I’m almost done here.” I’ve been so busy studying the man, I failed to notice how quickly he’s made his way around to the last remaining wall in the kitchen. “I see that. It looks amazing.” I glance around the space, mentally noting some patchwork that will need to be done, but at least the horrific wallpaper is gone and the walls will be ready for some paint soon. Maybe I can do some of that after work this week. “Let me run these upstairs real quick, and I’ll help with the clean up.” My linen closet sports organized stacks of linens and towels, everything sorted by type and size. I guess I’m a little anal, but I love when everything has a place. It makes life so much easier. Maybe that need for predictability is why my life had become such a rut before Mom’s health took a nosedive and forced me to pivot and adapt. But that process also showed me there is so much more to life if you can be open to change. That kind of flexibility takes time though, and like a muscle that has been dormant for a long time, it needs to be used and exercised. I’m working on it. Half an hour later I haul the last garbage bag stuffed with discarded wallpaper to the back porch. Leaning over the railing, I twist my head to look up at the sky which is studded with stars. I missed the sun going down, and the temperature must’ve dropped about fifteen degrees. It’s cold out, and I wouldn’t be surprised if we drop below freezing tonight. Inside, I find Rick in the kitchen with a serious expression on his face. He may have been watching me. “You have to go…” I guess. He shakes his head in response and slowly approaches. His hands slide around the sides of my neck as he tilts my chin up with his thumbs. His eyes are deep blue pools I find myself drowning in. His voice is low and his words send a delicious shiver down my spine. “I wasn’t planning on going anywhere.” Closing my hands around his wrists, I lift up on my toes until my lips almost touch his. “Yippie,” I whisper, before taking the initiative.

In the darkness, I thought I’d found the light.

Instead, I found betrayal.

Without my memory, I was an easy pawn—gullible, vulnerable, and desperate for redemption.

But with one cruel twist of fate, those memories begin to trickle back in. As each piece of my past clicks into place, I’m discovering that the truth isn’t always what it seems… and the one person worth giving my heart to is the same man who shattered it before.

Madden has been keeping secrets, ones that walk a dangerous line between life and death. But those secrets aren’t the only evil waiting for us. Other forces are already in motion, and the world we were born to protect hangs in the balance.

As my power surges stronger than ever, it longs to reclaim what was always ours—a soul bond. Madden and I may have been carved by fate, but magic always demands a price.

And he’ll soon learn that I’m keeping a secret of my own.

For breaking what should have been sacred…

His blood is owed.

Seeing Micah was the best part of my week.

I didn’t sign up for a cooking class as a way to meet men. But my handsome partner made it really hard to remember why I wanted to stay single.

It wasn’t the right time. I had too much else going on. I’d been burned before, and had no desire for it to happen again. They were all reasons that should have been enough to convince me. Still, I couldn’t stop thinking about him.

Then I’m violently attacked, and Micah shows up just in time to save me. Hurt, scared, and still in danger, when he asks me to stay with him for my protection, I agree.

If I’d arrived minutes later, I wouldn’t have saved her.

I’d seen a lot of bad things during my years in the Army, but bursting into Ruby’s apartment to find a man trying to kill her was one of the worst.

Seeing the fear in her eyes and the darkening bruises her attacker left behind filled me with a rage I’ve never felt before. And, in that moment, I knew I’d do anything to protect her. 

As a former Delta Force operator, I have the skills to keep Ruby safe. So it only makes sense to take her home with me. Except the more time I spend with Ruby, the more I fall for her. And the more determined I am to never let her get hurt again.

Keeping Knight is a friends-to-lovers story featuring a wounded but strong heroine, a former Delta Force operator turned K-9 handler, a security team comprised of veterans, found family, forced proximity, hurt/comfort, and plenty of unexpected twists. Can be read as a standalone. HEA guaranteed.

From USA Today bestselling author Kimberly Knight comes a high-spice, father’s-best-friend age-gap romance about crossing the line with the one man she knows she shouldn’t want.

The last person Blair Hart expects to run into at a members-only sex club in Beverly Hills is her father’s best friend.

She’s only in Los Angeles for a work conference, and after catching her boyfriend cheating, one night of no-strings-attached fun sounds like exactly what she needs. Until she walks into Sensation and comes face-to-face with Dane Kincaid.

He’s older, tempting, and completely off-limits, and he knows better than to see Blair as anything more than his best friend’s daughter. But the woman standing in front of him isn’t the girl he remembers, and once they cross the line, one night in his private room is supposed to be where it ends.

Instead, Blair returns to New York with Dane still on her mind—and it isn’t long before dirty texts turn into late-night calls, and the secret they left behind in LA follows them across the country.

When Blair receives an offer she’d be foolish to refuse, it’s a career-changing position at the construction company owned by her father and Dane.

Moving home means being closer to her family, stepping into the job she’s worked years for … and leaving three thousand miles of safe distance between her and Dane in the past.

They already know what happens when they’re alone together. What neither of them knows is how long they can keep their secret after Blair returns to California.

Because she was never Dane’s to want, but knowing that hasn’t done a damn thing to stop either of them.

Not Yours to Want is a high-spice, dad’s-best-friend age-gap forbidden romance novella featuring a one-night stand that turns into something more, an older man/younger woman pairing, a secret relationship, and a very exclusive sex club.

A spicy billionaire age-gap marriage of convenience...

I swore I’d never agree to an arranged marriage—until Zane Nasser walked back into my life with a ring and a contract.

The billionaire businessman is older, wealthier, and more powerful than any man I’ve ever known. Six months ago, I gave him one night. One reckless, passionate night that no man can live up to. He was my first… and then he disappeared.

I told myself I was over it.

I convinced myself I didn’t care.

Now he’s back, offering me a deal: marry him, save my father, and secure my chance at business success. There’s just one condition—don’t fall in love.

It should be simple, but in marrying Zane, I’m giving up my fairy tale ending.

Zane is ruthless. Detached. Unfeeling.

But the way he looks at me, the way he touches me makes me wonder if I know him at all. When his ‘brother’ shows up, causing trouble, Zane offers me a glimpse of the man he used to be.

The man of my dreams.

I tell myself I can handle it. That I can keep my heart out of it.

But the truth is…I never stood a chance.
