Obsession Shadow Series, Volume 1: Cat & Mouse Game

"They say it is always darkest underneath the lamp. Valeria had no idea that her own lamp was casting a shadow in the shape of a monster."

Eighteen-year-old Valeria Carter has one dream: to escape her toxic mother, pursue art conservation, and uncover her family's secrets on her own terms at her inherited estate, Blackwood Manor. When Jackson-a laid-back, daring YouTube buddy with whom she vlogs about abandoned places-enters her life, she believes she has finally found a safe haven.

However, there are three things Valeria doesn't know:

First: Jackson is the son of Zayden Taylor-the ruthless and elusive boss of a powerful mafia syndicate.

Second: Jackson is unwittingly scouting for a new wife for his cold father, sharing every single one of Valeria's secrets and fears over the dinner table.

Third... Zayden Taylor doesn't just need a wife. He needs her.

To the world, Zayden is a shadow and the lord of death. To Valeria, he becomes an invisible observer who controls her finances, her safety, her police friends, and ultimately-her every breath. When Valeria steps over the threshold of the gothic estate, she has no idea she is walking straight into a cage Zayden has been building around her for years.

A dangerous, psychological game of cat and mouse begins. A game where fear blurs with overpowering desire, and the dark secrets of Great-Grandmother Eleonora could burn them all to the ground.

Can the mouse manage to escape when the cat already knows her every move?
