THE FIGHT FOR QUIET #1
Callie’s Backstory (The Past)
She’s the girl everyone sees—but nobody really knows.
Behind Callie Mercer’s perfect grades and pretty smiles is a house full of slammed doors, silent dinners, and secrets that never stay buried. Her mom drinks to forget. Her dad works to deflect. And Callie? She’s been surviving behind a mask for so long, she almost forgot who she is without it, but masks crack.
And when hers finally does, everything changes.
Callie’s Real Story (The Present)
She’s chaos in combat boots. He’s trouble in tattoos.
Callie Mercer doesn’t do love. She barely does trust. She keeps things casual, keeps her walls high, and keeps her past where it belongs—buried. Then she meets Ash Rivera: tatted, jaded, and emotionally off-limits. He’s not interested in fixing broken girls. She’s not looking to be saved.
But somewhere between cigarette breaks, ink-stained skin, and the way he sees straight through her…Callie starts to wonder if surviving is the same thing as living.
Together, they’re a slow-burning storm—messy, magnetic, and the most honest thing either of them has ever known.
Callie and Ash’s story proves that love doesn’t always heal, but sometimes it helps you breathe through the pain.
