"You wanted to study a monster, Elodie. But you forgot the golden rule: when you look into the abyss, the abyss changes the rules of the game."
Elodie Hart knows exactly how the human mind works. As a brilliant psychology student, she relies on facts, data, and diagnoses to keep the world at a safe distance. She is cold, analytical, and entirely under her own control.
Until she meets Vincent Hale.
To the world, Vincent is a brilliant, charismatic billionaire investor. To Elodie, he is the ultimate clinical study-a high-functioning, calculating enigma who plays with lives like pieces on a chessboard. Intrigued by the challenge, Elodie steps into his world, confident she can maintain her professional boundaries.
She was wrong.
Vincent doesn't just participate in her study; he takes over the script. Slowly, systematically, Elodie's world begins to fray at the edges. Minor details go missing. Her academic credibility is questioned. Her friends disappear. And every single time her reality shatters, Vincent is there to pick up the pieces, offering his arms as her only sanctuary.
Caught in a suffocating web of gaslighting, obsession, and intoxicating desire, Elodie realizes she is losing the most dangerous game of all: the control of her own mind.
A dark, highly psychological, obsessive New Adult romance. Book 2 in the completed UNDER CONTROL Series.
