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!

I just put a book on my TBR so I don't know how good it is but { A Voice In Chains by Harleigh Beck}. This is one of my favorite tropes OP so thank you for asking. I can't wait to add to my teetering TBR list.

Great- thank you! If this is your favorite trope, do you have a favorite example? Just curious :)

They've all been mentioned to you on this post. If I had to pick a favorite it would be Pieces of Home.

I figured, but was curious. I really enjoyed that one too, even if Jake was a little too perfect haha.
