Elena Marquez has built her life on control. In the courtroom, she’s precise, relentless, and unshakable—a defense lawyer for women with nowhere else to turn. But behind her polished suits and measured voice lies a secret she has never spoken aloud: Elena can hear people’s thoughts. Not all of them, not always—just jagged fragments of fear, anger, and desire. For years she has buried the gift beneath discipline and denial, convincing herself it’s only intuition. Everything changes when she takes on the case of a young mother accused of killing her abusive husband. In the middle of the testimony, a voice slashes through Elena’s mind—dark, violent, undeniable. The whispers she’s fought to silence surge back to life, pulling her toward a hidden truth she cannot ignore. On the opposite side of the case stands Adrian Vale: tall, composed, and devastatingly perceptive. A criminal profiler with no supernatural power, Adrian relies on pattern recognition, empathy, and sheer instinct. Yet the moment he faces Elena across the courtroom, he senses she’s carrying a secret. Their clash of strategies soon becomes an uneasy alliance—and something more dangerous. Together they uncover a hidden network of abusers shielded by money and power, a conspiracy stretching from rain-slicked alleyways to gleaming boardrooms. But as danger closes in, Elena’s gift begins to take its toll: migraines, sleepless nights, and a creeping sense she’s losing herself to the darkness she probes. Adrian may be the only person she can trust—but revealing her secret could shatter their bond forever. Whispers of the Mind is a Philippine-set psychological thriller threaded with slow-burn romance. Intimate yet explosive, it’s the story of two haunted professionals drawn together by justice, risking everything to expose a predator—and discovering that the greatest danger may not be in what they’re chasing, but in what they feel for each other.
