He planned everything. Except how badly he'd want her. Chris has everything mapped out. Every variable. Every coincidence. Every outcome. Cassie is just supposed to be one of them. A girl placed carefully into his life-close enough to watch, close enough to protect, close enough to never leave. He knows her routines. Her silences. The way her attention shifts when someone gets too close. What he doesn't know is how fragile control becomes when emotions stop behaving. As jealousy sharpens and lines blur, the question isn't whether obsession exists it's how far someone will go #darkromance #obsession #morallygrey #unreliablelove #slowburn #psychologicalthriller #stalkerromance #hefallsfirst #shefallsnever #toxiclove #powerdynamics #dualPOV #protectivebutunhinged #mindgames #darkacademia #enemiestolovers #foundfamily #traumabond #possessivelove #controlvschaos #femalerage #dangerousmen #emotionaldamage #forbiddenfeelings #manipulation #chessmetaphor #unhealthyobsession #darkfiction #wattpaddark #twistedromance

The screens on the sides of buildings were already on, advertising Particle City as if it were a perfect world. Ads of the Emperor and his dazzling smile. Posters of "happy" street-sweepers. And on the side, there was a large image of a Particle City worker facing the city's symbol with these words in-between: 'Til Death Do Us Part. A couple of days ago, those pictures would've reassured her. Comforted her. And now, it only clawed sharper at the odd ache in her chest. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ In the dystopian society of Particle City, happiness is shoved so far down a person's throat, it's hard to tell what's real and what's not anymore. Most everyone there is internally crumbling, but under their commander, humanity is simply a suggestion. So they put on a happy face and do their work. Astra is one of the thousands upon thousands of victims trapped in this vicious cycle of fake smiles and oppression that seems unbreakable. When she finds out the secrets of her beloved society, things unravel into a rebellion she never saw coming.

After a flagrant display of cosmic irreverence, Elizabeth Evans is left adrift. With no place to call home. No plan for the future. Only a useless college degree, lingering substance abuse issues, and a penchant for burnout. When a childhood friend offers her a chance to start fresh in the sleepless city, Ellie does what any hopeless soul with nothing left to lose would do; she takes it and doesn't look back. Life in New York City is more complicated than this small town girl could have ever imagined. And it would seem the gods have a few more tricks left up their sleeves. Ellie finds herself torn between two worlds. Between her growing feelings for two enigmatic men. Between her wanton desires and lifelong ambitions to finally make something of her sad, little life. The scales must be weighed. Between lust or power. Between desire or reason. Between getting what she wants or doing what's expected of her. She must also ask if those are really the only options. What if she wants more? What if she wants it all? And what is she willing to do to get it? To find out, Ellie must confront not only her past, but the deepest parts of herself. Neither the universe, the city, nor these two annoyingly handsome men are going to make it easy. And only two things are certain; the gods certainly have a sense of humor and the heart wants what it wants. (A New Romantics Novel: Book One) Ranked #1 in literaryfiction (02/26)
