Lucas's life changes in an instant when he's abducted and held captive by Ezra, a man whose twisted obsession blurs the line between love and control. Trapped in a world where affection feels like a weapon and freedom is a distant memory, Lucas must navigate the delicate balance between manipulation and survival.  

But as Ezra's devotion deepens, Lucas finds himself using his captor's feelings to his advantage, setting the stage for his escape. When he finally breaks free, he vows never to look back.  

Years later, Lucas has rebuilt his life-a loving partner, a child, and the promise of a bright future. Yet, the shadow of Ezra lingers, and when their paths cross again, Lucas must confront the scars of the past and the enduring echoes of a love he never wanted.  

Captive Love is a gripping tale of obsession, resilience, and the lengths one man will go to reclaim his life and protect those he loves.

"If you love me, you won't leave me." Jessie has believed those words from her boyfriend, Josh, since senior year of high school. She loves him and doesn't want to leave him. Not even when he shouts at her and hits her. Jessie's best friend, Kolleen, can't stand seeing her in that situation. With a bit of convincing - and the worst beating she'd ever received - Jessie agrees to move into an apartment with Kolleen. But not long after, Jessie is scared the worst of her nightmares will soon become a reality. Josh goes missing, and suddenly Jessie would swear she's being followed. One night changes everything, and one person soon changes Jessie's outlook. A responding officer from that fateful night begins to seek her out, at first claiming it's part of his job. As she spends time with her new friend outside of his job, she starts realizing that her feelings are evolving. After being abused for over a year, Jessie is terrified she's falling in love. What's even more terrifying is that he might be, too. She isn't ready for love. Not yet. She makes up her mind that if he is falling, and if he does love her, he'll wait for her to be ready, and if she loves him, she won't let herself hurt him. Can the words that used to cage her in really be the key to her freedom? --- Featured On: @NA: Take a seat and let it be | Mature Content and 18+ reading list @NA: You deserve the world | Mental Health reading list Ambys Top Picks New Adult 2023

At a young age, tragedy struck her life when her parents were taken from her in a devastating accident, leaving her to seek refuge in the home of her neighbors. In the aftermath of such profound loss, she transformed into a quiet, gentle soul, her laughter stifled and her spirit dulled. However, everything changed when their son entered her life, igniting a spark of joy that had long been extinguished. His presence brought light to her world, and for a fleeting moment, she felt the warmth of happiness enveloping her once more. Yet, as her heart opened, she became excessively kind, almost too trusting, her sweetness radiating like a beacon. This innocence, however, did not go unnoticed; it made her vulnerable to the whims of others. Friends could easily slip into her life, and admirers could easily fall for her charm, which gnawed at him with an unsettling worry. The thought of her mingling with others, of her kindness being exploited, consumed him. His feelings morphed into an all-consuming obsession, a possessiveness that wrapped around her like a vine, tightening with every passing moment. In his eyes, she was meant to belong solely to him, a treasure to be cherished and protected from the world's harshness. Anyone who dared to approach her, anyone he perceived as a potential threat, would find themselves swiftly removed from her life. To him, the only way to ensure her safety and happiness was to keep her entirely to himself, away from the prying eyes and greedy hearts of others. She was his, and he would stop at nothing to guard that claim, believing that in his embrace, she would find the only true love she would ever need.

You've always been in the background-watching, waiting-as she captured his heart effortlessly. No matter how much you treasured your friendship, no matter how much you told yourself it didn't hurt, the truth lingered like a cruel whisper: he never saw you. But you refuse to fade into the shadows any longer. Desperation turns to determination, and soon, you're willing to do whatever it takes to make him notice you-even if it means crossing lines you swore you never would. Even if it means losing the people who truly care about you. Because love isn't always patient. And sometimes, obsession is just another word for devotion. How far will you go before there's nothing left of the person you used to be?
