Kept Too Close

Ashtyn is a therapist who can read everyone, except herself.

She knows how to help people untangle their past. She just can't seem to outrun her own.

After a painful divorce, Ashtyn returns to her hometown of Greystone, determined to rebuild her life on her own terms.

Familiar routines, new relationships, and a sense of normalcy offer a fragile kind of comfort-one she's desperate to hold onto.

But something feels off.

It starts small.

The texts.

The shadows.

The sense that someone is always just a few steps behind.

Now, even in her safest spaces, she can't shake the feeling that she's being watched.

Still being kept.

And the real danger isn't just in what she left behind.

It's what's been waiting for her to break.

Kept Too Close is a slow-burn psychological thriller about trust, survival, and the terrifying comfort of what's familiar.
