Some love stories whisper instead of shout.
Some loves are loud.
This one was quiet—and that’s what made it dangerous.
She didn’t fall in love all at once.
She fell in love in the pauses.
In the way he noticed the small things.
In the moments that almost meant something—and somehow meant everything.
Softest Kind of Want is a slow-burn, friends-to-lovers romance about emotional intimacy, timing, and the ache of wanting someone you’re not sure you’re allowed to want.
As their friendship deepens, unspoken feelings begin to surface—soft at first, then impossible to ignore. What starts as comfort turns into longing, and longing into a question neither of them is brave enough to ask: What if this is more?
This is a character-driven love story for readers who crave:
- quiet tension over grand gestures
- emotional closeness before physical intimacy
- yearning, restraint, and the pull of almost-confessions
- romance that lives in the little things
Tender, reflective, and emotionally charged, Softest Kind of Want explores the kind of love that doesn’t demand attention—but lingers long after the last page.
