Meet the Characters of The Lies We Whisper

Hanna Nowack – The Survivor
Hanna has spent nearly a decade rebuilding a life that was shattered in an instant. Once a woman full of fire, grief has left her guarded, and detached—moving through life for Caitlyn, her daughter, and for work, the only thing that makes sense anymore. Love was something she buried along with Brian, and she has no in

Brian DeLuca – The Ghost That Won’t Let Go
Brian is gone. Dead. Buried. And yet, in the quiet moments, in the flicker of a memory, he’s still there. The man Hanna loved, the one who was supposed to be her forever—until forever ran out. His absence should have been the end of their story, but somehow, it still haunts her, whispering through the cracks of her life, refusing to fade.

Nick O’Sullivan – The Man Who Stayed
Where Brian left, Nick remained. He’s been Hanna’s constant, her safety net, the man who held her together when she was breaking apart. He loves her, has always loved her, and he’s waited—patient, unwavering. But waiting has an expiration date. And as much as he wants to be the man she chooses, he knows a shadow still lingers between them. A ghost named Brian

Richard Hale – The Devil in the Dark
Richard is a man who doesn’t need to raise his voice to send a chill down your spine. He’s controlled, calculated, always five steps ahead. Manipulation is his weapon, silence his strategy. He doesn’t just destroy people—he makes them destroy themselves. And he isn’t done with Hanna. Not yet.

Tony DeLuca Jr. – The Brother, The Soldier, The Fallen
Tony Jr. was Brian’s best friend, his brother in everything but blood. Fierce, loyal, dangerous—he would have burned the world for the people he loved. But loyalty has a cost, and Tony paid the ultimate price. Now, his absence is a wound that refuses to heal, a reminder that in their world, love and death walk hand in hand.

Caitlyn DeLuca – The Light in the Dark
Caitlyn is the only thing keeping Hanna tethered to this world. With her father’s eyes and her mother’s fire, she’s sharp, intuitive—a little girl who understands more than she should. But innocence is fragile. And when the past collides with the present, Caitlyn may be the one who pays the price.

Some love stories end in tragedy. Some in betrayal.
And some? Some never really end at all.
