⚠️ Mature Dark Romance. Contains heavy themes, taboo dynamics, and morally complex relationships. Reader discretion is advised.
Aelia Maren has been a wife twice - and a widow twice. Married young, then married off again, she learned the same lesson both times: survival means staying small, staying quiet, staying unwanted.
Then Richard Vane's son comes to collect what's left of his father's house - and finds Aelia still standing in it.
Lionel Vane is twenty-one, calls it duty, and doesn't yet know what he wants from her. Aelia doesn't ask. She's stopped expecting men to want anything from her that doesn't cost her something.
But Lionel isn't looking at her like his father did.
And he isn't the only one.
She belonged to his father. Now two men want to know who she belongs to next.

UNHINGED (English)
BLURB THE DEVIL They locked me away. But even in that silence, she remains-Heat, the only thought that never left; the only person who taught me the logic of love. They said I had antisocial personality disorder. Maybe. But I loved her-in the only way I knew how. Yet her betrayal turned that love into anger. And then that anger festered into obsession. Now I'm free. The darkest part of me no longer wishes to hide. My obsession with her has become psychopathic. I don't want to hurt her; I want to haunt her. To own everything about her. Her scarred mind, body, and soul. Even her pain and fear. Most importantly, her heart. Shattered or whole, it doesn't matter. I intend to own it, every piece, without using force-she'll beg me to. ------ I. LITERARY / PSYCHOLOGICAL CONTEXT TRIGGER DISCLOSURE: Unhinged is written with literary, psychological, and psychodynamic depth in mind. It explores trauma, repression, projection, defense mechanisms, and personality pathology. The narrative is intentionally structured to mirror Heather's psychological experience - dissociation, vulnerability, and moral complexity - alongside Hugo's manipulative and psychopathic tendencies. Expect detailed psychological and archetypal mappings, Jungian shadow and anima/animus dynamics, and narrative architecture as emotion.
