Twisted Desire I πI βοΈ Completed
Disclaimer This isn't your standard dark romance. No forced marriage. No Italian or Russian sounding names. No instant love. No twenty-something virgin waiting to be "corrupted." And it contains an actual story line, that makes it interesting to read, with plot twists and turns. I can't stand "dark" male characters who are just shallow and arrogant with a leather jacket, so mine isn't. When he gets dark, it's genuinely unsettling, not sexy cosplay. A real redemption arc actually requires something worth redeeming, and this story doesn't shy away from that. I want you torn between wanting to kiss him or wanting to call the authorities. Dan is complicated, not because he recites cringy lines about his "darkness," but because he's built from more than clichΓ©s. If you roll your eyes every time a brooding man whispers "Can you handle all my demons?" and if you are looking for a storyline that it's more than girls meet boy - kidnap - love then welcome. You're in the right place. Now on the book: Dan is a ruthless mafia boss. Lilly is a kind strong girl who found herself in the wrong place at the wrong time. After she witnessed too much he decides to kidnap her. What begins as a game of power and punishment quickly spirals into obsession, blurring the line between desire and control. As secrets, betrayals, violence and other forces close in, will our captor and captive finally get their happily ever after?

Forced Love - 2 (A dark romance tale)
This is a dark romance love-hate story of a rich handsome king who falls in love with a beautiful young farm girl. This wealthy landlord is cruel and heartless. He gets unhealthily obsessed with her due to her beauty. She gets forced to live with him, marry him, do sexual acts for him and be his queen soon. Will she ever change him to a nice man? Will she ever get away from her miserable life? This is the continuation of a book named 'Forced Love', written by heathluvsyou . She is such a talented author and her story is written with such accuracy you believe at times you traveled back in time. Sadly, her story stopped mid way through and she haven't updated in a while. I hope with my heart that she is okay. So, i'm going to try to recreate her writing style and give a ending to her story. I will be adding more chapters as much as I could. I'm not as good as our initial author but will try my best. I love you heathluvsyou. For my shortcut buddies - It is possible to tag along with part 2 without reading the first book. But, I wouldn't recommend that since I bet you don't want to miss out on one of the best books ever. Search up 'Forced love' written by heathluvsyou. It would be worth your time I promise :) Best ranking - 39 in 'dark' on June 9th 2021. Wrote in 2021. 2022 me- π¬ Not bad. Trying to appreciate my dedication and efforts π€¦ββοΈ 2025 nov- I wrote this when I was a teenager. Idk what I was on. I don't condone this nor should anyone learn from this. Sorry guys :(Complete
