Lessons Unspoken - My Coach Taught Me Discipline I Taught Him to Feel

Rachel A. Brooks

Summary

Ivy Maire arrives at the prestigious Arden Conservatory with one goal—perfection. But her passion for piano quickly clashes with the icy silence of her assigned coach, Julian Ashcroft. Once a rising star, Julian now hides behind cold critiques and rigid routines, unwilling to let the past or anyone else touch him.
 
Determined to break through his wall, Ivy resists his emotional distance with quiet strength. As rehearsals turn into conversations, and music transforms into something more personal, an unspoken connection begins to form. Yet the closer Ivy draws him back to the world, the more Julian pulls away—haunted by scandal, silence, and the fear of caring again.
 
Together, they compose a piece that carries more than just notes. But with pressure mounting and the past refusing to stay buried, their bond is tested in a place where vulnerability is risk, and feeling too much can cost everything.
 
Can two people who speak in music—and silence—learn to trust what’s never been said aloud?
 
Or will the most powerful melody be the one that remains unfinished?

In The Company Of Cows

Sequoyah Branham

No one listens to Nora Kelly, except her cows. Thanks to a lengthy drought, she is in danger of losing them, her livelihood, her job, and the one place she feels that she can truly be herself— the ranch. 
The heifers never belittle or run her over when she tries to speak. They don't mind that she fumbles over her words– in fact, they are the only creatures who have ever just listened to her.  
Unfortunately, no rain means no grass, and no grass means no cows. Nora's one hope is that her boss will find a new piece of land to lease, but they only have six weeks to secure a place and relocate. Determined to stay with the heifers, Nora scrounges up every ounce of bravery she has and goes to the only person who could possibly help: her intimidatingly successful uncle that she barely knows. He's a ranch real estate agent with connections, who doesn't have time for an awkward niece.  
Just when a lease finally fits all of her boss' specifications, Nora discovers the land is already leased to her uncle, who might just be more family than she's ever experienced. What if her boss taking this lease breaks the budding bond between Nora and her uncle? But is she really willing to lose the only place she feels safe?  
In the end, Nora must decide what staying in the company of cows is worth.
