The Vesper Static Series
About the Vesper Static Series
The music that lives in the quiet is the one that changes everything.
In the bustling heart of New York, where millions of lives intersect, two creative souls are on a path to collision. Jake Ryder holds entire stadiums in the palm of his hand, commanding crowds with his transcendent music—yet the greatest song remains the one he can’t play, the melody of quiet vulnerability. Seraphina Vale, a fashion designer, with her own label stitches beauty into the bodies of strangers, but she has forgotten how to let anyone touch the blueprints of her own guarded heart.
Vesper Static is the compelling story of how a city large enough for strangers can be made small by fate. It explores the intricate dynamics between success, isolation, and the terrifying beauty of letting someone else hear your silence.
This Contemporary Romance series by Sheridan Laine is perfect for readers who enjoy character-driven dramas, metropolitan settings, and emotionally resonant stories where connection is the ultimate achievement.
The Long Way Back to You
Some collisions are accidents. Others are destiny in disguise.
Seraphina Vale has built an empire out of fabric and vision. Her designs appear on stages she never stands on, worn by artists the world worships. She’s successful, private, disciplined—someone who has learned to protect her heart by never handing it to anyone who can break it.
Then she runs into Jake Ryder on a rain-slick New York street. Jake, the magnetic lead guitarist of the rock band Vesper Static, lives in a world of roaring crowds, hotel ceilings, and endless departure gates.
He’s used to people wanting the spotlight that follows him—fans, reporters, opportunists. But Seraphina doesn’t care about his fame. She cares about the way he laughs, the quiet between songs, the man he is when the stage lights die.
Their connection builds in silence: unplanned coffee meetings, late-night talks, stolen moments neither of them can explain. They don’t fall fast. They fall truthfully.
Through tour schedules, city distances, and the price of public life, Jake and Seraphina learn that love isn’t something you choose only once. It’s something you choose again and again—especially when the world tries to tear it apart.
The Long Way Back to You is a slow-burn rockstar romance about two lives on opposite sides of the spotlight and the way real love rewrites every rule.
Ghostlight Secrets
Some love stories begin in the spotlight.
Others are shaped in the quiet between the lights.
Seraphina Vale has spent her career building something of her own—precision, control, and a fashion house defined by restraint. She knows how to command a room without raising her voice, how to keep her world carefully ordered. Loving a musician was never part of the plan.
Jake Ryder lives where sound and motion collide. As the guitarist of Vesper Static, his life is built on stages, long nights, and a public persona he’s learned to carry with discipline. Fame never frightened him. The past did.
What begins as connection deepens into something neither of them expected—steady, consuming, and quietly dangerous. When unanswered messages and buried histories surface, the balance they’ve built is tested. Secrets Jake believed were contained refuse to stay silent. Seraphina discovers that visibility comes with a cost—and that love doesn’t shield you from consequence.
As careers strain, trust is challenged, and old power structures push back, Seraphina and Jake must decide whether partnership means protection—or exposure.
Ghostlight Secrets is a slow-burn contemporary romance about ambition, authorship, and the risks we take when we choose honesty over silence. About the difference between surviving alone and standing together. And about the moments that happen just beyond the applause—where the truth waits.
