About this book

Chokehold When a chance masked encounter sparks an electric connection between two sworn enemies, they can't resist the intoxicating pull of secret meetings and anonymous messages that set their world on fire. What starts as a thrilling game of cat-and-mouse becomes dangerously complicated when forbidden attraction clashes with existing relationships and a family tie that makes everything exponentially messier. This is a dark, tension-filled romance that explores obsession and desire without apology, but fair warning—it tackles some seriously heavy themes, so check the content notes before diving in. If you crave intense, morally gray characters and heart-pounding chemistry that burns hotter the more forbidden it becomes, this will absolutely consume you.

“Create a playlist called Chokehold. Electric tension meets dark obsession. Build moods of forbidden desire, masked secrets, and dangerous chemistry with sultry R&B, industrial pop, and intense alternative rock. Think FKA twigs, The Weeknd, Halsey—tracks that simmer with tension, break boundaries, and burn.”

“Recommending 'Chokehold' by Leigh Rivers and Harleigh Beck as an MM book rec for the 'When He's Taken' trope.”
