Dark Romance / Stalker Thriller
Summary:

Hazel Thorne's life shatters the moment Lucas Ward sets his sights on her.

Polished. Obsessive. Unrelenting-Lucas isn't a stranger. He's the half-brother of Ava Ward, Hazel's closest friend turned manipulator. But where Ava's cruelty is cold and calculated, Lucas's fixation burns hot, intimate, and inescapable.

What begins with surveillance spirals into control. Hazel receives anonymous messages. Photos of herself she never took. A sense of being watched that never quite fades. And yet... beneath the fear, something darker stirs-a pull she doesn't understand. A connection that shouldn't exist.

Lucas isn't just obsessed-he's methodical. A master of shadows. And he knows Hazel better than she knows herself. But when Ava begins to unravel and re-insert herself, jealous and dangerous, the tension explodes. Ava wants her brother back. Lucas only wants Hazel. And Hazel is left in the middle-captive, desired, and changing.

As secrets unravel and power shifts, Hazel finds herself falling-not into madness, but into a love twisted by pain, trauma, and terrifying devotion.

By the end, Lucas and Hazel are no longer predator and prey.
They're partners in a bond built not on trust... but on survival.

They marry. They have children.
And together, they make sure Ava watches everything she lost.

*What happens when the prey becomes the predator?* Lily Chen has always been the girl who rescues broken things-stray cats, dying plants, damaged books. At twenty-four, she's built a quiet life working at the city library, volunteering at animal shelters, and avoiding the kind of relationships that left scars on her heart. Then she meets Dr. Marcus Kane. Charming, brilliant, and devastatingly handsome, Marcus seems like everything she's ever dreamed of. He's a pediatric surgeon who volunteers with sick children, a man who understands her gentle soul and makes her feel truly seen for the first time in her life. But Marcus has a secret. He's the serial killer the media calls "The Caretaker"-a predator who targets vulnerable women, breaking them slowly with a twisted combination of worship and psychological torture. And sweet, innocent Lily is about to become his masterpiece. What Marcus doesn't realize is that beneath Lily's delicate exterior lies something far more dangerous than he could ever imagine. When his mask finally slips, when his mind games push her past her breaking point, the fragile librarian will shatter-and from the pieces, a monster will emerge. One that learned everything from the master himself. **The hunter is about to become the hunted.** --- ⚠️ **MATURE CONTENT WARNING** ⚠️ *This story contains graphic violence, psychological manipulation, torture, murder, and dark themes.

Thornes : Alderbrook by claimmysoul

Trigger Warnings: Abuse, Intense Taboo, Romantic Themes, Family Secrets, Brandon Thorne doesn't lose. At 38, he's untouchable-ruthless, paranoid, and completely fucking insane. Men fear him. His enemies crumble. He built his empire with his bare hands, crushed anyone in his way. But now, standing in a seedy bar, watching the girl on stage with too much attitude and not enough shame, he sees what he missed. Willa Whitmore. Brandon locked her parents away without a second thought. Never even checked if they had a kid. Oops. Now she's here, shaking her ass for cash, glaring like she'd stab him if given the chance. And fuck, he likes it. Willa Whitmore is not impressed. First, the bastard ruins her life. Now he's sitting at the bar, drinking whiskey like he didn't single-handedly destroy her entire existence. And worse? He's staring. Like he wants to eat her alive. She should run, but then come his idiot sons. Complete freakshows. Otto and Max. Otto is all brawn, zero impulse control, a psycho with a chainsaw grin. Willa swears he gets off on making her scream. Max is quieter, smarter, but twice as fucked up. If Otto is a feral dog, Max is the one watching her sleep, planning her funeral, and picking out the music. Brandon wants to own her. Otto wants to break her. Max? He just wants to keep her. Forever. Maybe in a basement. So she plays along-smiles, obeys, acts like she isn't plotting their destruction. But the more time she spends with them, the harder it gets. Because the Thornes might be completely, irredeemably insane... but maybe Willa is, too.

Every warning sign tells her to run, yet every stolen glance pulls her deeper into his orbit.

In a game of predator and prey, can she resist the darkness that craves her-or will she surrender to a passion that was never meant to set her free?

Everything Has Changed by Ghost_Princess77

Rated: MA 18+ The familiarity of our small towns Main Street almost overwhelmed me. I never pictured I'd be back here since I left. Yet here I was again, 15 minutes from my childhood home in Greenwood. Although I never thought I'd be Hazel Campbell again but here I am. "I parked over here" Maddy lead me to the right where her car was parked in the guest spot. "It feels weird to have seasons again, it was always so hot in Miami" I sighed cracking my window. Even the air smelt nostalgic as the orange and brown leaves littered the streets. "I couldn't live over there, Greenwood has my heart even though ain't shit around" Maddy laughed as her phone went off. "Oh! It's Chris he asked what we're doing later!" "Chris.. Wilder? You guys keep in touch??" My jaw dropped slightly I hadn't heard that name in 9 years almost. I fidgeted with my fingers in my lap fighting the memories. I believed in the butterfly effect, I think I fell out of my destiny long ago and now I'm just being punished with a life where things will always fall apart. "Of course I do, you know we've always had tension" she laughed starting her car pulling out of the parking spot. "Please we should go! We can get the band back together!!" Except we'd be missing one person.. still I put a fake smile on my face and agreed to go. Chris wasn't the problem, his bitch ass best friend was. I guess you could say my ex bitch ass best friend. -------------- this book is rated 18+ and contains: Dark themes, dark romance, mentions of underage drinking, smoking, sex, BDSM, bad language, mentions of abuse, depression, and possibly more.

Brown Sugar by advikazy

Love. Obsession. And a man who doesn't know where one ends and the other begins. Alana Singh has always known how to disappear - into shadows, into silence, into the wounds no one dares to see. Dusky, curvy, and overlooked, she never expected to catch the eye of Digvijay Singh Rathore - the ruthless billionaire with eyes like winter and a soul carved from secrets. But he's been watching her for years. Waiting. Planning. And when she steps into his empire for an internship, she walks straight into the trap he's built just for her. Now she's tangled in his world of power, obsession, and forbidden desire - where every touch feels like worship and every lie tastes like sin. Because Digvijay doesn't just want her. He wants to own her. A dark, emotional, and intoxicating romance about obsession, redemption, and the love that ruins before it saves. A tender, raw coming-of-age story about heartbreak, healing, and the terrifying risk of finally being seen. ------------------ (This story is fast-paced and messy. I wrote it while I was mentally fighting a big battle. It became a good distraction for me. I ended up writing 25-30 chapters in just one week-so it's not perfect. I focused more on the emotions than anything else. Still, I hope you enjoy it.)
