June Holloway came to Santa Fe to close an estate, sell a house, and get back to her life.
Then she finds the mural.
Hidden in her late aunt’s attic is a fragile work of art that changes everything, including June’s carefully controlled plan to leave. To save it, she needs a conservator. What she gets is Mateo Reyes. Precise, guarded, and impossible to rush, he makes it clear that restoration takes time, patience, and trust.
June does not do patience.
As neighborhood politics, buried grief, and forced proximity tighten around them, the line between professional boundaries and personal desire starts to blur. Saving the mural means confronting what June has been avoiding her whole life. Staying might mean risking her heart.
Some things grow best in the quiet.
Some things refuse to stay hidden.
What Grows in the Quiet is a slow burn contemporary romance about grief, boundaries, and choosing what you want when the past stops letting you run.
Genre: Romance
