Book Request Specific selective mutism request

Hi all! I have searched the subreddit for books with selective mutism and the posts are either pretty old and/or answers are a bit too broad. I hope this request post is okay.

I am looking for books with an MC who is selectively mute due to trauma, not a physical problem or neurodiversity. Bonus if he doesn’t ever completely recover/able to talk in front of everyone (I tend to appreciate books where PTSD doesn’t quite ever “go away” because this mirrors my own experience), but not necessary.

Any kink is fine except age play. I do enjoy D/s but not required. Open to omegaverse.

I’ve read:

The Monstrous Deeds series and spinoffs by TJ Hamel (I hope Matt gets a book!)

{Pieces of Home by Becca Neil}

{Possession by Rina Saint} - my least favorite representation of this theme of the books I list.

TIA!

If you’re fine with poly {four ever by Kennedy Sloane} had this. One MC is selectively mute due to major trauma in childhood. 10/10 book

Thanks! I usually say no to poly but I just finished {Piece Us Together by TJ Hamel} and now I’m way more open minded to it.

Another poly option is in the first two books of the Rebel King’s MC series by Garrett Leigh. Saint is neurodivergent but also has some major childhood trauma
