I thought I was doing the right thing, convinced myself everything I did I was doing for the boy who owned my heart, the boy I loved - so I ran as far as I could go, without explanation to my friends and in spite of my family I fled the only home I had ever known, left behind the only people that had ever cared about me, but I needed an escape.

Twisted Desire I 18+ I ☑️ 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 clichés. 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, and other forces close in, captor and captive must confront a chilling question: is it love or just some kind of twisted desire?
