Breaking the Silence duet series is a dark contemporary MF romance containing subjects that maybe triggering to some readers, including, but not limited to: Detailed violence, killing, bullying, harassment, dub-con, non-con, explicit sex scenes, blackmail, and issues relating to crimes against children.
Underestimating me is the first mistake people make.
The second is thinking they have the upper hand.
Quiet doesnโt mean shy.
Small doesnโt mean weak.
And being a girl doesnโt mean Iโm sweet.
Iโm not like girls my age. Iโve had to learn how to survive in Australiaโs underworld, making the most of the skills and assets Iโve gained. My reputation proceeds me in the underworld, something which has helped get me to this point, and now Iโve come to Fox Pines with only a few short weeks to get what I came for, and get the hell out before itโs too late.
For some strange reason, Iโve become the focus of a local guy with anger issues who has made it his mission to taunt me. His attempts at getting me to react to him are relentless, and for the first time ever, I find myself looking forward to his daily torment.
Itโs confusing as hell, and even when Iโm in the studio trying to escape through the movement of dance, his blue eyes, blonde hair, and shit-eating-grin mock me.
Why am I so riled up about this guy? He should be scared of me. He should be running for the hills and never looking back, yet he ignores all the warning signs I throw his way.
A party, a drug deal gone wrong, and clean-up crew later and this innocent guy is suddenly wrapped up in the underworld with no way out and no one to blame but me.
He should hate me, right?
Some days he does, and other days thereโs a very fine line between hate and lust.
I should do him a favour and put an end to whatever it is going on between us, since Iโll soon be leaving him here to deal with this shit on his own.
How do I offer him that courtesy when Iโve already screwed up his life so much?
And how am I ever going to walk away from him when itโs time for me to leave?
COMING MAY 2023
Sometimes my silence speaks louder than any voice can. But this time, itโs my actions that scream!
He wants my voice and my heart, and I fear giving him both, yet somehow after all his taunting, I also fear he might get what he wants.
Iโm leaving soon though. Running away with my brother to keep him safe from the evil that has Fox Pines in its clutches. Letting Jared Crowley in will just make it more painful when I have to leave. Itโs already going to be hard enough since heโs managed to creep his way past my barriers time and time again.
Now though, with the threats and dangers increasing, we have become so close, that Iโm terrified if I donโt let him in, Iโll never know what itโs like to be loved, even if it is for short time.
It may not matter though, because my brothers foster family are out for my blood, and they are determined to get revenge for someone I killed years ago.
Everyone I love is now in danger because of me, and if I live to see my eighteenth birthday, I donโt know who will be left alive, or who will still want me around when itโs all over.
Itโs true! Heโs all about making me as obsessed as he is with his FMC!

I thought my biggest problem with having Asher Scott move in would be keeping my secrets hidden. Keeping my dark extracurricular activities just between me, my victims and my stalker.
I never imagined the real problem would be how Asher looks shirtless. How his heated gaze travels over my body like he wants to taste me.
And Iโm definitely not prepared for the way my body reacts, igniting a hunger in me that both terrifies me and stirs the darker parts of me to life.
All I have to do is remind myself that Asher Scott, who is so much younger than me, is off limits.
Honestly, what could go wrong?

Ugh, way to rip my heart to shreads and put it back together!! I was so excited for Zoe and Grayson to get their HEA but they definitely went thru so much to get there. My emotions were everywhere. Grayson is definitely a top book boyfriend!! I loved this book and the whole series. I am so sad to see it end. I thought I was ready for the end but I wasnt!!

Heavy Hearts Series ๐
Follow me on Threads & letโs talk books ๐โค๏ธ
I want to go back to the day I overheard people talking about it, wondering what had them so worked up.
I want to go back to the day I walked into the bookstore and found the book that was causing so much hype.
I want to go back to the day I lay on my bed, opening the cover and turning the pages to read the first lines that would change everything.
I want to go back to the day I first met the characters, letting my imagination conjure images in my head.
I want to go back to the day the anticipation had me so hooked, I wanted to ignore the world and dive right into the book.
I want to go back to the day I finished the first book and jumped straight into my car, driving to the bookstore before they closed so I could buy the second book.
I want to go back to the day I got excited that each book had more and more pages, never wanting the story to end.
I want to go back to the day I finished reading the last book and sat holding it, not sure what to do with my life, since now the story was over, and I could never read it for the first time again.
We all have that book, that series that consumed us so much that itโs all we want to live and breathe.
For me, I want to go back to the day I held this book in my hand, for it stirred something inside me. Something that had always been there, yet needed the spark to ignite it.
For me, that book was Twilight.
Some may roll their eyes at that.
Some may say, of course, how typical.
But some will know exactly what Iโm talking about.
Iโve moved on from sparkling vampires and gone down the rabbit hole of truly dark and disturbed, but it doesnโt change how I got here. How I became obsessed with reading, and consumed with writing.
I will say, however, if Stephanie Meyer ever decides to bring out a version of the Twilight Saga where Bella doesnโt choose, but claims both Edward and Jacob as her men, then Iโll be all over that!! ๐โค๏ธ

Sarah JD, also known as Sarah Jane Duncan, is a dark romance author living in Australia with Mr Duncan who stole her off the market back in high school.
Sarah can be found in her writing room plotting out her next smut filled romance filled with angst, violence, and themes so dark you should probably question why you love it so much.
Sarah writes about strong females who have to fight against the odds to find their power, their voice, and their truth. Her heroines possess the strength that only comes from being a survivor, and through their trauma, battles and struggles, they learn to trust again, and find love.
Thereโs nothing easy about their stories. They are hard, gritty, and painfully heartbreaking at times. But what doesnโt kill us makes us stronger, right? And when you throw in a swoon worthy guy, or an alphahole that you just want to slap, but also fall to your knees and obey, itโs the recipe for a rollercoaster ride.
So buckle up. Read the warnings. And let yourself get lost in the dark stories Sarah creates.
