Maggie lives her life carefully contained-every sound, every texture, every sensation filtered through a nervous system that's always one step from overload. She's learned to survive by staying quiet, controlled, and alone.

Then Vex walks into her world like static electricity-steady, grounding, and unshakably patient. A man who sees her not as too much, but as someone who's never been given enough safety to unravel.

When he touches her, her skin doesn't crawl-it exhales. When he looks at her, he doesn't demand; he waits. And when he offers her a space to explore the sensory world she's always avoided, she finds herself wanting to step over that line between comfort and chaos.

But safety doesn't mean easy-and surrender doesn't come without trust.

Overload is a story of sensory awakening, neurodivergent connection, and the delicate art of learning that sometimes the world doesn't have to get quieter-you just need someone who knows how to listen.
