When Emery Vaughn witnesses a brutal crime on a rain-soaked night, her life becomes entangled with the city's most dangerous man-Lucien D'Arcy, a ruthless and powerful mafia kingpin. Instead of silencing her, he makes a chilling decision: he keeps her. Not for revenge. Not for ransom. But for himself.
Trapped in his lavish, suffocating mansion, Emery becomes the object of Lucien's dark obsession. His touch is both possessive and tender, his love both suffocating and seductive. With each passing day, she finds herself slipping further into his world-a world of blood-stained hands, forbidden passion, and deadly secrets.
But when she uncovers the horrifying truth-the secret that ties their fates together-Emery is forced to decide: will she escape the man who holds her heart in chains, or will she fall deeper into the darkness, knowing it might consume her?
A twisted tale of obsession, betrayal, and a love so dark, it blurs the line between salvation and damnation.

I Named The Monster Myself
Asher was five years old when his world shattered-and the only one who held it together was a man he was never supposed to love. Raised in near isolation by a charismatic, enigmatic father figure named Lucien, Asher grows up believing Lucien saved him. But Lucien isn't his real father. He's a man with secrets, a man who raised Asher with unconditional control rather than unconditional love. Now seventeen, Asher can't tell where admiration ends and obsession begins. His trauma, once buried, begins to surface-manifesting as nightmares, hallucinations, and increasingly erratic behavior. He sees Lucien not just as a protector, but as the only person who matters. The only person who's real. As Lucien begins to drift away-distracted by a new relationship, or perhaps burdened by guilt-Asher unravels. His devotion sharpens into something possessive. Violent. And as the line between protector and predator blurs, both Asher and Lucien must confront a terrifying truth: What happens when love becomes a cage-and obsession becomes the key?

But obsession is a funny thing - it blurs the line between predator and prey, love and possession, freedom and a beautifully crafted cage. When Alex meets Claire, it isn't love at first sight.

She's patient, calculating, always one step ahead - and by the time Alex realizes he's being played, it's already too late. As the seasons unfold, Alex spirals deeper into Claire's labyrinth of mind games and cold-blooded manipulation.
