Description
Suffocated Some truths don't just haunt you. They become you. After a violent incident leaves her stepfather dead and her world shattered, 17-year-old Eden Lorne is sent to Halbrook Psychiatric Center under observation. Everyone thinks she's broken, dangerous-even insane. But Eden knows the truth: she didn't act alone. There's someone else inside her, someone who's always protected her... no matter the cost. Then there's Knox Reyes-the boy in the shadows. Silent. Watching. Hiding a darkness that mirrors her own. When fate throws them into the same therapy group, sparks fly-born not of light, but of shared trauma, twisted truths, and the fragile hope of redemption. As the walls close in and secrets unravel, Eden must decide if she's willing to face the part of herself she's spent years burying-or lose the only boy who's ever truly seen her. Suffocated is a psychological, slow-burn romance about trauma, survival, and the thin line between love and madness.
