Library assistant Meila drifts through life in the hush of bookshelves, her only crutch a string of meaningless short bursts of intimacy meant to silence the echo of her isolation. No friends. No family. Just emptiness she chases through strangers.
Asher isn't just drawn to Meila-he's consumed by her. Diagnosed with OCD, his need transcends admiration and spirals into fixation. He watches her from afar... until control becomes his only option.
One stormy evening turns everything: Asher's obsession tips into abduction. He takes Meila into a secluded world of his own making. Trapped, confused, she fights to escape-yet finds herself inexplicably tethered to the dangerous man who stole her freedom.
As Meila tentatively opens up to the possibility of emotional connection for the first time, Asher's twisted devotion softens-but his obsession only intensifies. In the shadow of captivity, they must each ask: is love born of force ever real... or simply survival?

The General's Daughter
Just seventeen, Keira is not eager to decide the rest of her life, but as usual, she will not have much choice. She has always known she would have to marry - and well, but as the deadline nears, she begins to feel more and more suffocated. It doesn't help that most of her prospects are tedious, arrogant, sometimes entirely revolting, and only interested in using her for some advantage with her father. The only man she can stomach the thought of accepting, also offers the most terrifying future - as royalty. Keira loves Alex, but not romantically, and she doesn't believe she ever will. Not that it keeps him from trying to convince her otherwise....But if it was possible, would love make the rest of it bearable? Especially considering her alternatives? Just as she begins to allow herself to believe in the possibility of a romantic future, someone sets out to destroy it all. When Keira is kidnapped, she realizes just how much she has taken for granted - Alex included. She must find a way to rescue herself and make it home to spoil her abductors' plans. Unfortunately she doesn't know how to get home or even how far it might be. She has no food, no supplies, and no idea how to survive on her own. And asking the wrong person for help could be disastrous. (Sequel to Keira's Fire & Daughter of the Rebellion)Complete

My Mistake
She thought he was perfect, but perfect doesn't exist. Alex had never been in love. Never been kissed. Never even held a boy's hand. So when Ben (the charming, confident, older man) swept into her life, it felt like fate. He said all the right things. Made her feel special. Claimed he was keeping her safe. At first, she believed him. When he checked her phone, it was because he cared. When he told her what to wear, it was because he loved her. When he got really angry, it was her fault, wasn't it? She should've known better. Shouldn't have talked to that guy. Should've texted back faster. Should've listened to him. Then the first slap came. Then the apologies, and promises it wouldn't happen again. But it did. It kept happening. Ben doesn't love Alex. He owns her. And she's learning, slowly and painfully, that love doesn't leave bruises. Love doesn't monitor your every move. Love doesn't isolate you from your friends and family, punish you for breathing the wrong way, or force you to beg for kindness that never lasts. But by the time she sees it for what it is, she's already trapped. And Ben doesn't plan to let her go. Not without a fight. ⚠️TW⚠️Domestic Violence ⚠️TW⚠️ Sexual Assault ⚠️TW⚠️ Emotional and Mental Abuse This is copyright so if you see anyone taking my book please help a girl out and let me know.

Beautifully Obsessed
He was her rock, her best friend, her first love. He became her worst nightmare, her tormentor, her captor She was his everything. His obsession. Their story should have ended with that court case, but he's found a way back to her, and he won't give her another opportunity to escape. Not this time. ------------------------------------------- Shivering, I sobbed out, unable to speak, unable to move. "Shh, shh, now baby-girl, it's alright, you're safe, don't cry" he soothed, moving closer to me. "N-Noah, I w-want to go home," I sobbed, feeling weak from my inability to talk without stuttering. A gasp left my parted lips as his hand forcefully connected with my cheek, "You are home, so I don't want to hear that crap from you, okay?" shaking, I looked down at my feet, his gaze too menacing to hold. "I said, do you understand" he spit through clenched teeth, "y-yes, I'm sorry" I whispered, a new wave of tears making their appearance. "Good girl, now I need you to keep being a good girl, okay?" nodding, my eyes met his dark ones. His form towered over me, making me feel small and irrelevant. "Words, Embry!" He demanded as I stuttered out a quiet yes. I studied him cautiously as he walked towards the far end of the room, shuffling through drawers before stalking back towards me and crouching down. I sucked in a breath as I saw the knife in his hand, his face held a mischievous grin as it glinted in the light. "Now baby-girl, you see, as much as I hate to, you need to be punished, do you know why?" Warning! This story is for mature audience, it contains strong language, abuse, mature themes and sensitive topics. Please enjoy, -Aphrodite.Complete
Twisted Desire I 🔞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?
