An unapologetic, visceral revenge horror novel about a woman in captivity who blurs the line between human and beast in order to survive.

Lonely, broke, and depressed with a serious case of OCD, Gia is desperate for a lifeline. When financial ruin looms, she turns to a sugar dating site and meets Nathan—a wealthy stranger with an offer too tempting to refuse: live as his devoted pet, and pay off all her debts. What begins as a transactional escape soon spirals into a nightmare of captivity and control. The longer Gia is trapped, the more her humanity frays, and the line between woman and beast blurs.

In this harrowing tale of survival and revenge, Mia Ballard crafts a visceral, unflinching descent into the dark heart of lost autonomy—and the feral rage it awakens. Shy Girl is a scream against the cage of expectation, where justice isn’t quiet—it’s bloody and unapologetic.
