Shut Up & Die

Sadie Rivers has loved Milo Dasch forever. He’s her best friend, her safe place, the boy she’s certain will one day see her the same way.

But then Milo meets Sadie’s mother. Jackie Rivers isn’t the woman he expected—she’s younger, magnetic, and dangerously alluring. What begins as fascination turns into desire, and soon Milo finds himself caught in a secret, all-consuming affair that could destroy everything.

Jackie knows it’s wrong. Milo knows it’s a betrayal. But the pull between them is stronger than reason, stronger than loyalty—and far stronger than Sadie’s fragile heart.

In a world where passion blurs the lines of love and morality, Shut Up & Die is a haunting forbidden romance about temptation, secrets, and the devastating price of desire.
