---
Lila Carter had the kind of life people envied-popular, confident, and untouchable.
Until the night a masked stranger shattered it.
Kidnapped and taken to an isolated place, she finds herself trapped under the watch of a man who never removes his mask, never explains why she's there, and never lets her escape.
Every day, Lila tries to outsmart him. Every night, the walls between them close in just a little more.
In a game of secrets and survival, Lila will have to use every ounce of her wit to uncover the truth behind the man in the mask-and the world she never imagined herself in.

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, violence and other forces close in, will our captor and captive finally get their happily ever after?

Because he's not just watching anymore... he's getting closer. And he's convinced they're meant to be. Everything Chloe thought she knew about safety, trust - and love - is about to be shattered.

Her prey
Celeste thought her life was perfect-until the night that shattered everything. At 21, she had it all: love, stability, and a future she believed in. But on Valentine's Day, a night meant for roses and promises, her world crumbled. Betrayed by the woman she loved on their first anniversary, Celeste's heartbreak should have been the worst part of the evening. It wasn't. That same night, she was taken by a woman who was everything her ex wasn't: dangerous, powerful, and merciless. Raven Cantié, known in the criminal underworld as La Louve Noire „The Black She-Wolf"- isn't just a mafia boss. She's a fucking legend. Sadistic, manipulative, and irresistibly charismatic, Raven doesn't ask but takes. What she wants now is Celeste-fragile, whose innocence fascinates her like a flame calling to a predator. But what Raven doesn't expect is that the girl she saw as prey might be something else entirely. Because Celeste isn't just fragile, she's fire wrapped in fear, and there are things inside her even Raven can't control. Will Raven tame her favorite possession, or will Celeste be the one to burn the wolf alive? A story of obsession, trauma, twisted power, and a darkness that blurs the line between love and control. • • • • Trigger warnings:kidnapping, drinking, smut, degrading, blood, beating, killing, very graphic tortures , SA, rape, drugging, a lot of swears etc. It's 18+ story with mature scenes and graphic content.
