Cat Howard

In a quaint ivy-covered cottage nestled in the quiet town of Millwood, Caitlin believes she's finally found her fairytale. Nathan is charming, attentive, and devoted-the kind of love she's always dreamed of. But beneath his tender words and perfect gestures lies something darker. What begins as a romance wrapped in roses soon twists into a suffocating web of control, gaslighting, and fear. As Caitlin's world grows smaller and her voice quieter, she clings to fragments of the woman she used to be-the artist, the dreamer, the survivor.
When the facade of love shatters under the weight of violence and manipulation, she faces a haunting question: how far must a woman go to reclaim her freedom?Both harrowing and empowering, Soft Hands, Bloody Secrets is a psychological thriller about the silent strength of survival, the cost of breaking free, and the chilling truth that sometimes escape comes with blood on your hands.
