First Obsession ~ Brian Moser (Prequel to 'Silent Obsession')

Prequel to Silent Obsession (I would recommend to read that story first.)

Before the careers, before the secrets, and long before the murders - there was a beginning.

At eighteen, Camila Batista is a troubled teenager battling severe depression and anxiety. Desperate to help her, her parents make a decision she never wanted: they commit her to a psychiatric institution. Angry, isolated, and convinced she doesn't belong there, Camila struggles to survive the suffocating walls of the asylum.

Until she meets him.

Brian Moser is charming, intelligent... and dangerously different from anyone she's ever known. What begins as an unexpected friendship soon turns into something deeper, pulling Camila into a relationship that feels like salvation. To her, Brian becomes the love of her life.

But Brian is hiding something far darker than she could ever imagine.

Set nine years before Camila meets Rudy Cooper, this story explores the past that shaped them both: the haunting relationship between Camila and Brian before he became the infamous Ice Truck Killer, and before she grew up to become a psychologist trying to understand minds just like his.
