The Quiet After The Fall
(2026)(The second book in the Free Fall Duet series)
A novel by Lauren Greene
We survived the fall. Now comes the reckoning.
I had every reason to hate Knox Aldrich. He was cruel. Cold. Calculating. He looked at me like I was his entire world while he was building a life with someone else.
I took that pain and used it to start fresh. New school, new plans, a life without him.
It was working. Until it wasn’t.
Because Knox doesn’t let go of things he considers his. He hunted me down. Watched me. Followed me into the life I was trying to build like he had some claim on it — on me.
I don’t hate it as much as I should.
But Knox isn’t just dangerous for my heart. He’s carrying secrets that were never meant to surface. Dark ones. The kind that could rock the foundation of everything I’ve ever known.
We dug too deep, and what we found isn't half as explosive as our relationship.
My fresh start was never going to happen. It always ended here — with Knox, with the truth, with everything finally on fire.
A duet of forbidden love, shared trauma, and the thin line between healing and destruction. This is a dark romance featuring morally gray characters, toxic relationship dynamics, and mature themes. Not for readers seeking light or fluffy romance.
