Blurb

This is not a love story.

It’s the story of what happens after love turns into control, fear, and survival.

Kate and Jax have been together for eight years. They’ve weathered the ups and downs, built a life, and dreamed of a future—until the pressure of IVF begins to crack their carefully held balance.

On the surface, Jax is the perfect boyfriend. But beneath it, something darker is clawing its way out, tightening its grip as Kate slowly disappears.

Having lost herself completely, Kate must find the strength to break free and rediscover who she is, before it’s too late.

Sometimes, the worst storms clear the way for the life you were always meant to have.
