"This book contains dark themes, including violence and psychological manipulation. Reader discretion is advised." Gemma is sweet, trusting, and a little too easy to take advantage of. Damien is cold, calculated, and a monster hiding in plain sight. They are not supposed to go together. And yet... they do. A blind date was never meant to turn into this-a pull so dark and consuming that neither of them can walk away. Gemma should run. Damien should let her go. But he won't. Because his dark obsession is turning into something worse. Something he doesn't understand. Something he's never felt before. And by the time she realizes what he is, it'll be far too late.

Jane, a quiet and gentle baker, lives a peaceful life until everything shatters the night she and her best friend Nadia vanish without a trace. Awakening in a stranger's luxurious but suffocating bedroom, Jane finds herself in the grasp of Lucas - a dangerously obsessive man who claims to love her and is willing to do anything to keep her. As Jane is forced to navigate captivity under Lucas' possessive gaze, she begins to walk a tightrope between survival and resistance. Every meal, every word, every touch becomes a calculated move. When Lucas reveals he's also taken Nadia (Jane's sister), and refuses to say where she is, Jane's world fractures further. Isolation, manipulation, and trauma wear down her resolve, yet somewhere beneath the fear, she plots - silently, patiently. But nothing is black and white. Emotions tangle. Control blurs with care. And Jane begins to question whether her reactions are survival... or something more twisted. "Rules and Roses" is a haunting exploration of control, captivity, and psychological manipulation - where love and fear become inseparably entwined, and escape is more than just a physical act... it's a fight for the soul.

"I hate you. I hate you so much! You chain me to the table to eat. You chain me to the bed when I sleep. You chain me for anything that takes longer than fifteen fucking minutes!" He stared at me. A growing smile appearing on his face. "I like seeing that I'm in control of you. That there isn't a place that you can run from me.

"P-p-please.." My voice was a jagged, stuttering mess. I frantically clawed at the basement floor, trying to scramble backward, but my limbs were shaking too violently to find traction. Tears cut through the dirt on my face as I stared up at his towering silhouette. "I-I-I'm sorry... I-I p-promise, ! D-don't do this, p-p-please!" Adrien stood completely unhurried, his sapphire eyes dead and hollow. His violence wasn't a fit of rage; it was a cold, calculated execution. He stepped forward, pinning my left leg flat against the concrete with his crushing weight, and brought a solid iron rod down directly onto my kneecap. Crack. An explosive, white-hot agony shattered my mind. I let out a blood-curdling shriek that bounced violently off the walls, my entire body convulsing. "A-A-Adrien! S-st-stop! I-I'm b-begging you!" I screamed, sobbing so hard I choked. Without a word, he lifted the rod again and shattered my right kneecap. I collapsed onto the freezing floor, my teeth clicking violently from the absolute shock. Before I could pass out, Adrien knelt over my trembling form. He shattered a thick sheet of glass against the table, holding a razor-sharp shard in his gloved hand. "You forgot whose name you carry, my dear," he whispered softly. "Let's make sure you remember." He pressed the jagged glass deep into the bare skin of my shoulder blade. I shrieked, my body locking into a rigid line as he began to deliberately engrave his name into my flesh. TRIGGER WARNING‼️‼️ This book is not ordinary dark romance novel .

She knew making a run for it won't do a thing, calling was not an option and if she screamed...she opened her mouth to shrill but a meek plea came out. Her body's lack of response terrified her, tears gathered in her orbs with horrible anticipation. With his each step nearer she gripped the frame of her window tighter hoping to keep her balance. It took him three steps to be inches away from her body. He slowly took his suit jacket off, making himself comfortable as he amusingly watched her shaken face. She was so horror-stricken to even look at his face. She gulped as his hand cupped her neck in a gentle grip, guiding her eyes to his. His eyes slipped from the hold of her eyes to her lips in a second. She grew self conscious all over again. His heated gaze on her lips was unwavering.
