Silence is golden ... unless it's mandatory. Next-door neighbors Charlotte "Chancy" Yancey and Luke Ryan have never spoken to each other, not once in 33 years, thanks to their fathers' agreement to prohibit communication between the children. Technically, the enforced silence ends when their parents die in accidents six months apart, but old habits die hard. The self-enforced silence ends four years later when Chancy's son, Billy, is bitten by a copperhead and Chancy needs Luke's help getting Billy to an ER. Luke and Chancy, finally free to communicate, become friends, then lovers, but their discovery of four high school annuals and a diary reveals part of the long-guarded secret: They're half siblings. Against their better judgment-and state law-they marry, knowing they can never have children. Chancy's ex, Cliff Ryder, a professional rodeo competitor, has harassed Chancy by phone since their divorce six years earlier. He surfaces again, 24 hours after the wedding, urging Chancy to dump Luke. Luke intervenes by threatening Cliff's life if he ever calls Chancy again. With his ego battered by Luke's threat, Cliff conspires with his local eyes and ears, Deputy Earl Winstead, to leave Chancy defenseless by killing Luke. Eleven-year-old Billy, the surviving man of the house, is all that stands between a revenge-driven ex-husband, a lustful deputy, and his defenseless mother. When the dust settles, what remains to be discovered is the second half of the secret that created Silent Neighbors-a romantic yet suspenseful tale delivered by a powerful new voice in fiction.
