COMPELLED
Brianna had always admired Adam from afar. Her brother Caine's best friend was everything she dreamt of. He was strong, confident and untouchable. With Adam being ten years her senior, her innocent crush was nothing more than a fleeting dream, tucked away like a cherished secret. Her brother would never have allowed a relationship between them and made it very clear from the start for Adam not to overstep. Adam did the right thing and kept his attention on anything but Brianna who was but a temptation right from the start. But when tragedy strikes and Caine dies unexpectedly, Brianna's world is upended. To honor his friend's final wish, Adam takes Brianna under his wing, promising to care for her and keep her safe. At first, his guidance feels like a lifeline as Brianna navigates her grief, but soon, Adam's protective nature takes on a darker edge. What starts as concern evolves into an all-consuming obsession. Adam's presence in Brianna's life becomes suffocating, his intentions blurred by his growing need to keep her all to himself. As Brianna struggles to step out of her brother's shadow and find her independence, she discovers that the man she once admired is not who she thought he was. Trapped between her own conflicting feelings and Adam's unrelenting control, Brianna must uncover the truth about Adam's motives and find a way to escape his tightening grip before her love for him becomes her undoing. Dark, intense, and filled with twists, Compelled explores the fine line between love and obsession, and the lengths someone will go to keep what they believe is theirs.
