Anna has been abducted and pressed into the service of a psychotic man driven by a vision; recreating Edgar Allan Poe's "Annabel Lee" in the form of an Opera. Set apart by Creighton Greyard's incessant demands of training and schooling in attempts to mold her into his perfected Annabel; she struggles to connect to herself and others. Solace is found in the unlikeliest of places, Lucan Greyard, Creighton's only son.
Her carefully crafted illusion of normalcy is shattered by the machinations of Seraph, the jealous chorus girl who believes Anna's place in Lucan's and the troupe's life belongs to her.
Anna runs- straight into shadowed memories of past. Recognized by a barely remembered friend, she accepts the offer of home, work, and safety. As time passes, Anna throws herself into discovering pursuits that were never allowed in Creighton's home. She lets herself relax and becomes integrated in the lives of her former friend and her sister.
Her hard-worn peace is shattered with the reappearance of Lucan, a precursor to the arrival of Creighton and his troupe. Anna has to merge the two parts of her life back into one without being swallowed by one or the other.

Bound by Obsession - Winrina
Minjeong is an unassuming yet charming woman who works as a freelance illustrator, spending most of her time in her quiet apartment. Behind her sweet smile lies a dark obsession-her mysterious and captivating neighbor, Karina. Karina, a charismatic but aloof software engineer, moves into the same building, unaware of the silent eyes following her every move. Minjeong meticulously studies her: her favorite coffee order, her work routine, and even the playlist she listens to on the way home. To Minjeong, Karina is more than just a neighbor-she's perfection personified. But Karina isn't as oblivious as she seems. Beneath her calm exterior lies her own secret: she's been watching Minjeong just as obsessively. Drawn to Minjeong's seemingly innocent demeanor, Karina has been orchestrating "coincidental" encounters to get closer to her. When their mutual stalking comes to light during an accidental confrontation, their twisted fascination with each other evolves into an unconventional bond. What starts as a game of cat and mouse turns into a dangerous partnership, with both women pushing boundaries as they work together to eliminate anyone who threatens to disrupt their unique connection. As their obsession spirals into dangerous territory, Minjeong and Karina must confront a question they've been avoiding: is their connection love, or are they just two sides of the same dark coin? ---------------------------------------------- this story may be disturbing at some point. this is not a typical romance book.Concluida
