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?

TELL ME WHO I AM! | Dark Romance | Psychological Thriller |
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.Complete
