A Dark Romantic Obsession Thriller By Clover Kingston Book Description Ethan R. Cole is everything the world admires. Cold. Brilliant. Untouchable. A billionaire whose name opens doors, commands boardrooms, and rules the city from the glass walls of his penthouse, Ethan is a man built on precision and control. To the public, he is a philanthropist, a visionary, and the most eligible bachelor in Manhattan. But behind the tailored suits and polished smile lies a darkness no one has ever survived long enough to expose. Until her. Junie Quinta Read is a plus-size kindergarten teacher with a heart too soft for a world this cruel. Warm, nurturing, and quietly insecure, she has spent years hiding behind oversized sweaters and forced smiles, convinced she is the kind of woman men overlook. Then Ethan Cole sees her. Really sees her. Her curves. Her kindness. Her loneliness. Her secret ache to be loved. What begins as fascination turns into obsession. He watches her from afar. Learns her routines. Memorizes the sound of her voice. And when their worlds finally collide, Ethan becomes the first man to make Junie feel beautiful... desired... unforgettable. But Ethan's love comes with shadows. Women are disappearing. Bodies are turning up across the city. And the closer Junie gets to the man who worships every inch of her, the more she begins to suspect that the monster everyone fears may be the same man she is falling for. Some loves heal. Some loves destroy. And some loves are written in blood. In a city of secrets, obsession may be the deadliest form of devotion.

Yeah their toxic...but what couple isn't ;) _________________________________________ "Go on", he said slapping her thigh, he could feel her letting go and it was turning him on to unnatural heights seeing her get this dirty for him. "Grind against my hand", he gritted into her ear, and she did just that, grinding her hips in deep circular rotations as he worked her nub. She could feel that famous pleasure boil within her, letting her know she was close. ________________________________________ Everyone has a soulmate, someone they're destined to find. Until that moment comes, we often spend our lives imagining who they might be. But Jason and Krissy don't have to wonder much longer, as one ordinary evening in detention, a substitute teacher drops a bombshell: they're each other's soulmates. Neither of them is thrilled. They come from opposite ends of the school's social hierarchy, and they've spent more time rolling their eyes at each other than dreaming of true love. But Destiny doesn't make mistakes. Now, Jason and Krissy must decide whether to fight fate - or fall into it. Can they unlearn everything they thought they knew and let themselves desire the only person Destiny has said they were born to love? WARNING: I'm rewriting the story.

The night Maelys was born, a storm made a decision for her. A desperate woman, a coerced midwife, and a courtyard where someone died in the rain conspired to place one infant in a palace and erase another from the record entirely. Twenty-two years later, someone has come to unmake it, and she has twenty-two years of righteous fury, a powerful patron, and the specific weapon of a truth that supports multiple stories at once. Raised in the painted corridors and orange-blossom courtyards of Solenir Palace, Maelys knows how to read a room before she enters it, how to wear humor like armor over something more serious underneath, and how to survive in a court that admires her with one hand and doubts her with the other. She has been exceptional here her entire life. She knows what exceptions are for. When the girl she unknowingly replaced arrives with documents, damage, and the kind of righteous anger that is the most dangerous kind because it is not entirely wrong, nothing careful is enough anymore. With a conspiracy threading through the court's most elegant rooms, a bodyguard who has been keeping a report in a locked box for eight years waiting for the right person to receive it, and a crown prince who asks before he touches and is not without fault and is learning the difference between those two facts, Maelys must fight for her name, her life, and the identity she has spent twenty-two years choosing rather than receiving. This is a slow burn interracial historical romance with explicit intimacy, graphic violence, and a world that does not soften its edges for the comfort of anyone in it. It is a story about what is owed and what is chosen, about love as a continuous practice rather than a destination, about darkness that stays and is carried rather than resolved, and about a woman who refuses, repeatedly, in every room that tries to define her, to let anyone else decide who she is. Dark. Tender. Permanent. Earned. ©️ _RelleLebby_ // R. L.
