TRIGGER WARNING! MATURE! GRAPHIC! ASSAULT, EATING DISORDER, CHEATING, SEX, SEXUAL ASSAULT, ABUSE, TORTURE, STALKING!!!!!!!! I've known Rowan my entire life. He's been my brothers best friend since childhood. But what happens when he tells me he wants me? things start to get complicated. Confusing. Scary. That's what. But what happens when Rowan comes to claim me? His want has turned to an obsession. Obsession for me and I find safety and peace in someone I never thought I would. Can I save myself? Can I save others? Can I find happiness? Or is Rowan's obsession going to end everyone in his path? Am I even truly safe from Rowan? Will I give in and choose him just to keep the people I love safe. I'm the little mouse in this game of his. A game I never agreed to play.

You've always been in the background-watching, waiting-as she captured his heart effortlessly. No matter how much you treasured your friendship, no matter how much you told yourself it didn't hurt, the truth lingered like a cruel whisper: he never saw you. But you refuse to fade into the shadows any longer. Desperation turns to determination, and soon, you're willing to do whatever it takes to make him notice you-even if it means crossing lines you swore you never would. Even if it means losing the people who truly care about you. Because love isn't always patient. And sometimes, obsession is just another word for devotion. How far will you go before there's nothing left of the person you used to be?

He left a mark I never asked for. Now he wants to finish the piece. Amina Westbrook didn't choose motherhood. But when her younger sister dropped a baby and disappeared, Amina stepped in, raised that little girl as her own, and never looked back. Seven years later, the past comes tatted, cocky, and fine as hell, standing in the grocery store with the same hypnotic eyes her daughter sees in the mirror. Santiago Vega. Zuri's father. The man who left before he ever knew she existed. Now he wants in. He wants time. Forgiveness. A chance to be a father. And every time he shows up with that deep voice and soft smirk, Amina hates how bad she wants to let him. He's not just showing up for Zuri-he's showing up for her. Fixing things she didn't ask him to fix. Dropping money in her hand like it's his right. Touching her like he already knows how she breaks. And Amina? She's been holding everything together for so long that she doesn't know how to let go. Doesn't know how to want someone who actually stays. But Santiago? He stays. Through the attitude. The boundaries. The sparks that keep catching fire. And when he finally gets his hands on her? There's nothing soft about it. Now she's spiraling in his sheets, fighting him in front of her family, and falling harder than she ever meant to. Because Santiago doesn't just want to play daddy. He wants the whole damn family. And this time, he's not leaving until he has them.
