Michael was twenty-two when he first saw her-just a girl on a subway platform, eighteen and unaware that her smile would shatter his fragile grip on reality. To Michael, Kyra isn't just beautiful. She's salvation. She's fate. She's his.
He watches. He waits. He creates the perfect moments to step into her life, each encounter carefully staged to look like chance. To Kyra, Michael is charming, protective, almost too good to be true. But behind every gentle gesture lies calculation, and behind every act of kindness, possession.
When the walls of Michael's obsession close in, Kyra finds herself torn between terror and temptation. Fear twists into something darker, something dangerously close to desire. Because the most horrifying part of all isn't the prison he's building around her-it's the part of her that starts to want to stay.
A story of obsession, captivity, and the razor-thin line between love and madness, Madness in the Dark asks one question:
How far can devotion go before it becomes a cage?

The Obsessive Hearts | 18+
She wasn't supposed to want him but in her world, resistance turned out to be a luxury seemingly difficult to afford, even for her. Ritika Sharma doesn't do obsession. She does control, precision, the kind of ambition that leaves no room for anything soft. He was supposed to be just a name in a newspaper. A face on a screen. A passing fascination she could put aside and forget. She couldn't. What begins as watching becomes wanting. What becomes wanting becomes something darker - a pull with no clean name, no logical end, no off switch she can find no matter how hard she looks. And Mahir Singhania, with his quiet eyes and quieter secrets, doesn't seem to mind at all. But when secrets slip, boundaries blur and love and ruin start to look identical - wanting him may be the most reckless thing Ritika has ever done. Because some hearts are too fierce to be held. They need claim. They need worship. Some love heals. Some destroys. Theirs does both. They found each other. Now they have to survive each other.
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?

21st Birthday
Kyra grew up in a house that looked like joy and echoed like grief. A home full of rooms, relatives, rituals..everything but the space to feel. From the outside, it was the picture of tradition and love. On the inside, it was a slow, unspoken undoing. She wasn't the daughter who made people proud. She didn't fit the mold-didn't color inside the lines, didn't walk softly. She broke things. Laughed too loudly. Felt too much. And for that, she became the problem no one could name but everyone could feel. This is a story of a girl who tried to stay alive in a place that only wanted her quiet. Told in fragments, like how we remember people we failed. Told in echoes, like how grief haunts even after the body is gone. Told not because it ends in hope but because it matters that it happened. A story about the kind of love that suffocates. About families that feed you but never see you. About how the brightest children can disappear while everyone's looking. She was ten when she thought she had the whole world. She was twenty-one when she realised no one ever truly saw her. And by then, it was already too late.Complete
