“It’s not about how much you can take. It’s about how much you can survive and still choose to love.”

In Tell Me When It’s Over, B. Celeste returns with another emotionally devastating and intimate dark romance that dives deep into the aftermath of trauma, the long road to healing, and the slow-burn love that refuses to give up—no matter how broken someone feels.

Annie, a young woman with a traumatic past, is sent to live with her estranged father in a new town. She's quiet, guarded, and full of secrets she can’t afford to share. Everything about her screams “stay away,” and that’s exactly what she intends to make people do.

Then she meets Holden, the town’s golden boy and local hockey star. Charming, persistent, and with demons of his own, Holden sees the pain Annie tries so hard to hide. He doesn’t want to fix her—he just wants her to know she’s not alone.

What unfolds is a love story that:

Grows slowly through silence, comfort, and mutual trust

Navigates mental health struggles, assault, and self-worth

Shows how love can coexist with pain, without trying to erase it

Emphasizes patience, therapy, and self-reclamation

Celeste handles sensitive topics with grace and emotional depth. Tell Me When It’s Over doesn’t glamorize trauma—it gives it a voice. It reminds readers that sometimes, love is less about passion and more about simply staying.
