Talking to the Moon

When the scars of abuse still linger, healing is the first step toward freedom. At twenty-five, Selene Lewis finally breaks free and seeks refuge in Hawaii with her college best friend, Sam. Living in Sam’s family home gives her the first true safety she’s known in years—a place to breathe, to rebuild, and to rediscover the woman she lost to trauma. But healing is never simple…especially when life has more to teach her. Then Selene meets Johnny. Sam’s older brother and a world-famous musician, Johnny is a myth to the outside world, yet grounded, private, and magnetic within his family home. Their connection is instant, but their romance is a slow burn—stirring emotions Selene thought were lost forever, awakening desire alongside trust, tenderness, and intimacy. As Selene’s modeling career blossoms and her bond with Johnny deepens, she begins to believe in love and in herself again. But her past won’t stay buried. With her abusive ex resurfacing and family tensions rising, Selene must find the courage to fight for the life she deserves—and trust Johnny with a heart still learning how to beat freely. Talking to the Moon is an emotional, slow-burn romance with spice—where love, found family, and healing take center stage.
