He was never a stranger. He was the safety she didn't know she needed... and the danger she never saw coming.
Lila Brown lives a quiet life tucked away in the snowy woods of Rangeley, Maine. Between long shifts at the local market and caring for the aunt who raised her, she's learned to keep her head down, hide the ache of loneliness, and carry her dreams in silence. She's used to being invisible-until the day a man with kind eyes and a calm voice walks into her store and calls her by name like he's known it forever.
Detective Desmond Richardson is charming, polite, and always seems to be in the right place at the right time. But beneath the surface, he's something else entirely. Calculated. Devoted. Dangerous. He's watched Lila from afar, studied the rhythm of her life, and convinced himself of one undeniable truth:
He was meant to protect her.
As subtle kindnesses become routine and his presence begins to feel familiar, Lila finds herself drawn to the man who seems to understand her better than anyone else ever has. But shadows move quietly in Rangeley. And while Desmond's love feels safe... it's also consuming.
Because for a man like him, love isn't something you fall into.
It's something you claim.
This is an ongoing book and I will continue to release more chapters!

In His Grip
He says he'd burn the world for her. She never expected him to mean it. Evelyn thought she knew what danger looked like-cold, sharp, and far away. Not quiet hands brushing her hair behind her ear. Not a voice that could break her with one whisper. Damien Blackwell is power, secrets, and obsession wrapped in a tailored suit. Everyone fears him. She should, too. But instead, she finds herself drawn to him-captivated by the way he softens only for her. Until the lies start unraveling. A stalker. A warning. A photo soaked in blood and truth. Now, Evelyn is forced to question everything-how much Damien has protected her... and how much he's destroyed to keep her. But loving a man like him comes at a cost. And she's already in too deep to run. "I don't care if you hate me. Just let me hold you while you fall apart." • Obsession doesn't always look like madness-sometimes, it looks like love. • He'd kill to protect her. He already has. • She became his weakness. And he became her ruin. • In his world, love is possession-and she's his favorite sin. (Currently writing and Editing so the story details can change at anytime.

She gave him something far more dangerous: a reason to feel again. What started as curiosity became obsession. Every glance, every word, every secret he uncovered about her pulled him deeper.

To Hell
She was supposed to get better. He was supposed to disappear. They were all supposed to forget. But nothing stays buried forever. Especially not the kind of secrets that leave teeth marks. In a city built on silence and sin, five broken strangers are dragged back into the orbit of a man they thought was dead. Each carries their own trauma, their own rage, their own crimes. Each one marked. Each one watched. Each one chosen. There's the therapist who weaponizes grief. The girl who survived and became the monster. The boy who turned pain into poetry-and then into war. The cult leader who doesn't believe in forgiveness. And the one with blood on her tongue and no name left to pray with. A list has surfaced. And their names are on it. Crossed out. Carved in. Waiting. This isn't a love story. It's a reckoning. A spiral into obsession, violence, memory, and manipulation. Read it only if you can handle: Therapy sessions that turn abusive. Confessions that turn deadly. Love that turns into a knife. You've been warned.Complete

Fear Bound
Willow Run isn't your typical amusement park. Every fall, it transforms into a full-scale haunted attraction - fog-drenched trails, blood-soaked sets, and a cast of viral scare actors who have TikTok in a chokehold. Especially the two most feared and thirsted-after: Scorch - all chaos, cocky grins, and clown-paint madness. Warden - silent, sharp-eyed, and impossible to read. They're internet-famous for their terrifying personas and sinful good looks. Every post is a performance. Every scare is a show. And Lilah? She's been watching for months - liking, commenting, saving, replaying. But when she wins a contest to fly out and meet them, it doesn't feel like luck. It feels like fate cracking open. She didn't expect them to notice her. She didn't expect them to want her. And she never expected to want them back so badly it aches. Now she's being drawn into something far more intense than she imagined - something seductive, obsessive, and dangerously blurred between fantasy and reality. The line between being scared and being claimed has never been thinner. But maybe that's exactly what Lilah's always wanted. Because ever since a violent event in her childhood, she's known there's something wrong with her. Something dark. Something off. She's kept it hidden - the intrusive thoughts, the morbid curiosities, the part of her that flinches toward violence and never looks away. Under the blood-red lights of Willow Run, that darkness doesn't make her a monster. It makes her theirs. A why-choose dark romance filled with obsession, performance, and the monsters we secretly hope are real. Perfect for fans of haunted houses, morally gray men in face paint, and girls who are more unhinged than they look. ⸻ ⚠️ Trigger Warnings: psychological horror, dark romance, sexual content (18+), violence, blood imagery, trauma, manipulation, obsession, morally gray behavior, and emotional intensity.

Ophelia
"I'd jump after you into the pit of fire if I had to, Ophelia. Don't question that, and don't you ever ask me not to." ________________ Lilia thought she knew loneliness. She thought she understood grief. Haunted by a painful past, she kept running-from city to city, never looking back. All she wanted was a place where no one knew her. Then Dominic Brooks walked into her life. Chaotic, intense, and impossible to ignore, he and his makeshift family threatened to shatter every wall she'd built. But what unsettles her most isn't Dominic's presence-it's the way he looks at her, like he already knows her. The way he calls her Ophelia, as if it means something. And the way, despite everything, he feels like home. _______________ "Ophelia." "Ophelia, please." Isn't it funny? How this nickname works so perfectly. The world pushed Ophelia to the edge of her sanity, throwing her into the inevitability of a tragic ending. Here I am, facing the same fate. But no writer will engrave my name in history. No painting will be named after me. I'm just another insignificant part of the big book of life. Just another iteration of Ophelia.Complete
