Voluntary Pain

Some girls choose love.
Some choose pain.
Sophie and Caroline chose both.

They were strangers.
Different lives, different worlds, but the same mistake —
falling for men who were never truly theirs to begin with.

One week apart, both women were found dead.
No struggle. Just silence.

Detective Angelina von Stein wasn’t supposed to share this case.
But now she’s working alongside two men she never wanted on her team,
especially the one who’s made her feel too much for far too long.

The trail leads to one therapist’s office.
A place that promised safety… and delivered anything but.

The deeper they dig, the darker it gets.
Obsession, grief, control, and the quiet unraveling of someone no one thought capable.
Because the most dangerous kind of hurt… is the one that learns how to hide.

Voluntary Pain is a sharp, intimate psychological thriller about secrets, patterns,
and the kind of love we never admit out loud.

Enter for the murder.
Stay for the part that hits too close to home.

After all… haven’t we all, at least once,
chosen something we knew would hurt?
