Copyright © 2026 by Bookish Dae From a box of pastries and a stormy eyed glare in a greasy auto shop, a most unlikely love story bloomed. Thea, all sunshine and sugar, saw past the hardened exterior of Blaze, a grumpy ex-con haunted by a tragic past, and slowly melted the walls around his heart with unwavering kindness and fierce loyalty.

He noticed her. That was the first mistake. Indie Mercer doesn't care who he is. Not his name. Not his fame. Not the way everyone else looks at him. To her, he's nothing. Just skin. Just a canvas. And he lets her believe that. Because some things are better built slowly. Carefully. Until they feel... inevitable. Until she doesn't question why he's always there. Why everything feels easier when he is. Why her body recognises him before her mind does. But Indie Mercer doesn't belong to anyone. And when the truth comes out- it doesn't bend. It breaks. Now he has a choice. Walk away... or learn how to keep her- without taking anything she doesn't give. Only Mine, Darling is a dark, obsessive romance where control is easy... but being chosen is everything.
