Unwritten Rhythms of Us

Belle Vance protects her heart like a state secret, hiding behind the safety of her sketchbooks and a quiet life. When Ryan Miller, a charismatic and deeply intuitive architecture restorer, enters her world, her carefully constructed defenses begin to crumble over shared coffee and late-night conversations. In the intimate sanctuary of her apartment, their simmering tension finally boils over into a tender, breathtaking kiss. But as Ryan's touch grows passionate, promising a safety she has never known, Belle is suddenly paralyzed by a terrifying reality - this would be her very first time. Haunted by a past of severe emotional neglect, fear and vulnerability override her desire, forcing her to pull away. Now, Belle must confront her deepest insecurities and a secret she has kept from everyone, while Ryan must prove that some structures are worth rebuilding from the ground up, no matter how fragile the foundation.
