Overview

She’s always outrun the moment.

This time, she can’t.

Lívia Rocha has built her entire life on movement—fast decisions, sharp instincts, never slowing down long enough to feel what’s underneath. On the soccer field, it makes her dangerous. Off it, it keeps her safe.

Until Hannah Weiss steps into her space.

Tall. Grounded. Unshakably calm.
The team’s goalkeeper—and the one person who doesn’t chase Lívia when she runs.

Hannah doesn’t demand.
She waits.

What begins as professional trust turns into something quieter… heavier. Every look lingers too long. Every near-touch burns. Every moment of restraint makes the tension sharper.

But Lívia has a history.

And when her toxic ex resurfaces—pulling her back into old patterns of chaos and control—Lívia makes the one choice she swore she wouldn’t: she runs toward what feels familiar, even when it’s empty.

The cost is immediate.
Public.
Painful.

Because Hannah doesn’t fight for attention.
She simply steps back—and lets the field tell the truth.

Now Lívia must decide:

Can she stay present when being seen is the hardest thing she’s ever done?
Can she choose calm over chaos when desire demands more than instinct?
And when everything fractures under the lights, will she be brave enough to 
stay?

Keeper of the Quiet is a slow-burn sapphic sports romance about intimacy through restraint, the danger of emotional avoidance, and choosing trust—again and again.
