When struggling college student Aria signs up for a paid psychological survey, she thinks she's just earning quick cash for textbooks and rent. What she doesn't realize is that she's just volunteered herself for something far more sinister.
Sebastian Vale, a brilliant behavioral scientist, is conducting the most unprecedented study of his career-an experiment on Stockholm syndrome. His goal? To manipulate the mind of an unknowing subject until she believes she loves him. And then publish it all in a groundbreaking psychological study.
Aria doesn't know his name. She doesn't know where she is. And she has no idea why she was taken. All she knows is that someone is watching her, speaking to her, studying her... loving her?
As the days blur and the lines between fear and affection twist into something unrecognizable, Aria must fight to hold onto the truth-before she loses her mind, her freedom, and maybe even her heart and Sebastian must face the one variable he never accounted for-his own heart.

THE TEKULA PROJECT
(COMPLETED | UNDER EDITING) Fresh out of college, Veronica Odair is hired as a forensic scientist at the infamous B.E.A.R. Laboratories. She is put to work on the classified Tekula Project, but certain events lead her to question her job. What is so dangerous about Level 5? Why do her tests come back increasingly strange? What secrets are B.E.A.R. Laboratories hiding? Veronica plans to find out. ▪▪▪ Brown eyes, nearly obscured by rich locks of dark hair, stare into my light green ones with an intensity which nearly causes my knees to wobble. I can hear nothing but the thudding of my heart beating wildly in my chest, the sounds of the sirens turning into white noise at the back of my mind. I back up until my spine connects with the elevator doors. I shiver as my bare arms come in contact with the cool metal. "Someone help me, please," I beg. The man stalks closer still. His eyes are fixed solely on me, unmoving, intense. His fists are clutched tightly against his sides, as though restraining himself in some way. Restraining himself from what, I don't want to know. The man stops only an arm's length away from me. I stare up at him with wide eyes, my lips parted in fear. I stand frozen, unable to move. I shut my eyes, turning my head away. Laboured breathing, the touch of fingertips on my bare shoulder, breath on my lips. A heavy, deep inhale. Slow exhale. A forehead against mine, shaky hands cupping the back of my neck, fingertips sliding into my red locks. My eyes open to meet the warmest pair of honey eyes. Cover by AnnaCharles16 #4 in ROMANCE?

Fabricated Mind
In a quiet house at the edge of the woods, Mira wakes beside the man she loves - Dr Alden, a respected psychologist known for exploring the hidden corners of the human mind. Their days are ordinary, tender even. But every night, fragments of something dark claw their way back into Mira's dreams - flashes of blood, fog, and a house she swears she's never seen. When she visits Alden's asylum to write about art and therapy, one patient recognises her - screams at her as if she's someone he once knew. From that moment, Mira's carefully built world begins to fracture. Memories blur with imagination, love collides with fear, and every familiar face starts to feel like a mask hiding something unspeakable. As Mira struggles to piece together the truth, she begins to wonder - is she losing her mind... or remembering it?Lengkap
Gilded Amnesia
She woke up with no memory. He says he's her husband. But in a world of luxury and lies, can she trust the man she's falling for?

He claims he's Liam Croft, her billionaire husband, and that a terrible accident stole her memories. Thrust into a life of glamour and secrets, she must play the part of a wife she can't remember. But nothing adds up. The way the staff watches her with wary eyes. The locked doors. The flashes of a past that feels like someone else's nightmare.

The greatest threat of all might be the man sleeping beside her-the man she's dangerously close to loving all over again. Who can she trust in a world where everyone knows her... except herself?

The bridge between realities
She wakes up to blinding lights and silence. No name. No memories. Only the sterile scent of metal and the echo of her own heartbeat. Every day begins the same - strapped to a bed, surrounded by faces she doesn't recognize. They call it research. She calls it torture. Each session peels away another layer of her mind, until she no longer knows if the pain she feels is real or manufactured. The walls hum with electricity. The machines whisper in frequencies only she can hear. And the man who stands over her - the one with steady eyes and shaking hands - is both her tormentor and the only soul who looks at her like she's still human. As her fragmented memories begin to resurface, she realizes that the greatest experiment isn't on her body - it's on her mind. It's not a story about escape. It's a story about what's left of you after you've already lost everything.
Beautiful When Broken

Torn between the boy who owns her body and the one who still haunts her mind, Ella is forced to confront what love looks like when it's laced with control, fire, and ruin. Because being wanted isn't the same as being free. And survival doesn't mean escape-it means surrender. A dark, possessive romance with obsession, mind games, and a girl learning what it means to be truly broken... and beautifully dangerous.Lengkap
