When Love Becomes Violence
A Novel by Ajona Penhart
What happens when the victim is a man—and no one believes him?
Solomon Turner thought he'd found lasting love in Calla, a magnetic and intense woman. But behind closed doors, passion turned to control, and devotion gave way to violence. As her behavior spirals into emotional and physical abuse, Solomon collects evidence—journals, bruises, recordings—knowing the world may still see him as the aggressor.
When Calla threatens to take their children and vanish, Solomon faces a terrifying choice: continue enduring, or protect his family at any cost. One night, seven gunshots end the torment—but begin a new nightmare.
Was it self-defense? Or a calculated act of survival?
When Love Becomes Violence is a provocative psychological thriller that shatters assumptions about abuse, gender, and justice. Inspired by real-world statistics and lived silence, it asks: when love turns violent, who will be believed?
