When love turns into obsession, what would you do?

Emilia Spade is a burnt-out novelist, a cheerful and curious woman. But is then given the opportunity to regain her spark as she inherits her deceased Aunt Evelyn's manor a week after her funeral.

She finds a box full of love letters, addressed to and made by her aunt. But they aren't ordinary letters, they're dated back to the 60s. Who is her aunt's lover?

Nolan Brown, a retired grumpy detective, lives across the manor. He reluctantly helps Emilia out in her investigation. He has always struggled with trust issues, but maybe she's the one who'll melt the walls he put up years ago. 

Together, they find out that her aunt isn't just involved in a silly little romance. It's darker than that. 

Will she follow the fate of her aunt and become a lost soul or will she write her own future? Will Nolan finally open up or will he experience his past all over again?

-

"What if I end up like her?" 
"You think I'll let that happen?"

Read to find out what happens in their mystery, their love, and their souls.

Romance, mystery, and supernatural. Have fun reading!

THE PORTRAIT OF YOU by delusionalworld01
40 parts Complete Mature
After a tragic accident destroys her career and reputation, Ava Vale walks away from the world of interior design and reinvents herself as a traveling restorer of forgotten art, she finds purpose in restoring what others abandoned. She hides behind brushes and varnish, far from the city that broke her spirit-until a call sends her to the crumbling estate of Caelum Thorne, a brilliant painter who vanished years ago. What she expects: a house full of decaying canvases. What she finds: a man still mourning the woman who left him... and a portrait that looks exactly like her. Same face. Same lips. Same haunting beauty. The only difference? The eyes. Ava's are brown. The woman in the painting-Evelyn-had piercing blue. When Callum sees her, he falls apart. "You came back to me," he whispers. But Ava is not Evelyn. She's not a ghost, not a muse, not the girl who left him behind. And yet... he paints her. Again and again. Desperate to reclaim her identity, Ava strikes a deal: She'll help him find Evelyn-if he hands over all of his art. But the longer she stays, the more she sees the man behind the madness. And the more Caelum paints, the more he sees Ava-not the memory. Until one day, Evelyn returns. And Ava must decide if she's strong enough to walk away from a man who never asked her to stay. But behind every portrait... a secret waits to be answered-why did Evelyn leave? A love story layered with obsession, identity, and betrayal. He spent years painting the woman who left. Until a stranger taught him how to love someone who stayed.

TELL ME WHO I AM!   | Dark Romance | Psychological Thriller | by delusionalworld01
34 parts Complete Mature
She wakes up in a stranger's bed, a diamond ring glimmering on her finger - a symbol of promises she cannot remember - a vow forged in a past that's been stolen from her. Everyone says she's fortunate. That she's blessed. That a beautiful home, a devoted fiancé, and a spotless future await her. But when her pulse falters under his gentle touch... when her skin shivers instead of warming - something deep within resonates with the alarming feeling that something is profoundly, dangerously wrong. He insists it's for her own safety - that something awful happened, that healing simply takes time - but there's a fire in his eyes, a possessiveness he cannot mask. And somewhere in her mind, a locked box rattles against its chains. And at night, in the quiet... she dreams of another man she does not recognize. Until one day he steps out of the shadows. Not with flowers, but with fire, with danger, with a confession forged in the pure agony of a love forgotten. Not with comfort, but with a storm in his eyes and a voice that trembles when he says- "You promised to remember me," he whispers. "Even if the whole world made you forget." He is not kind. He is not patient. His love is wild - a consuming force - a sin that feels more elemental than redemption. The moment he reaches for her, the carefully woven lie starts to unravel, thread by thread, until the awful, beautiful truth emerges. She doesn't know his name. But her soul does. Now, stranded between two men - the man who offers refuge within a perfect illusion and the man who holds the key to a catastrophic reality - she must make a choice. To stay safely oblivious... or to break free and remember the life that was stolen from her. Because someone made sure she forgot. And they'll do whatever it takes to keep it that way. Some truths are dangerous - and some memories are worth everything.
