I Sense You

Ethan Wells lives in a world of overwhelming noise—not of sound, but of feelings. His extraordinary ability to sense others' emotions and unspoken thoughts has turned what could be a gift into a burden, driving him to build a carefully isolated life where the emotional chaos of others can't reach him.
Maya Tanaka has the opposite problem. Her emotions display transparently on her face and in her actions, making her an open book in a world that values restraint. Though her artistic talent channels this expressive nature, her inability to hide her feelings has led to a lifetime of misunderstandings and hurt.
When Ethan and Maya meet in a quiet café designed for minimal interaction, something unexpected happens. For the first time, Ethan encounters someone whose outer expressions perfectly match her inner emotions—no deception, no hidden agendas. For Maya, Ethan's quiet understanding offers a respite from constant judgment.
As these two sensitive souls navigate a tentative connection, they must overcome years of protective isolation and face the risks of genuine intimacy. Their journey reveals that sometimes the very traits that make it hardest to navigate the world are the same ones that make deep connection possible—if they can find the courage to truly see and be seen.
"I Sense You" is a moving contemporary novel about finding strength in vulnerability and discovering that our differences can be our greatest gifts when shared with the right person.
