He has built a world designed to keep everyone out.
After a violent trauma dismantles her life, Dr. Sorrel Hollis stops trying to be seen. Once a celebrated botanist, she now restores dying plants because they ask nothing of her and never touch without permission. When she is offered a job rehabilitating the long-abandoned gardens of a remote mountain estate, she accepts for one reason only: solitude.
The estate belongs to Kenton Wolcott, a billionaire whose power is matched only by his distance. He lives behind glass and silence, enforcing a single rule-he will not interfere. He will not watch. He will not speak to her.
As Sorrel works among the neglected greenhouses and ruined beds, something unexpected happens. The land responds. And slowly, carefully, so does she. From opposite sides of walls and windows, two broken lives begin to heal in parallel-through shared quiet, deliberate restraint, and the patient work of restoration.
What grows between them is not sudden or explosive. It is fragile. Intentional. Dangerous in its gentleness.
But when the world intrudes and old wounds are exposed, Sorrel must decide whether safety means remaining unseen forever-or risking connection with the one man who has never tried to claim her.
Orchids in Moonlight is a deeply intimate, slow-burn romance about trauma, autonomy, and the radical power of being left alone. A story where love is not taken, but allowed-and healing blooms only when control is finally released.
Perfect for readers who love:
Quiet, trauma-informed romance
Slow-burn intimacy built on safety and trust
Emotionally restrained, morally careful heroes
Healing through competence, not rescue
Stories where silence speaks louder than desire
