The Lock and the Key: He Took Me Hostage, Then Took My Heart

When Ava Clarke is taken by a scarred mercenary named Cain Mercer, everything she knows shatters. A cold cabin in the mountains becomes her prison, the smell of smoke and metal her new reality. Cain is calculated, lethal, and far too controlled. She swears she’ll find a way out but each passing day chips away at her certainty about who he really is. Nothing about her abduction adds up.

For Cain, the mission was simple: deliver Ava to the men who destroyed his life. Revenge demanded it. But keeping her alive keeping her close was never part of the plan. The woman who should’ve been a pawn starts to feel like something he can’t let go. Caught between guilt and something darker, he begins to question what redemption even means.

As snow buries the outside world and their choices close in, Ava must decide whether to trust the man who stole her freedom or lose her heart to him completely.

In the quiet between mercy and obsession, love waits with a loaded gun.

Her descent into danger is just one heartbeat in the world of Twisted Obsessions, where every story dares to ask how far love can fall before it becomes something darker and far more irresistible.

In "Twisted Obsessions," love isn’t soft it’s sharp, raw, and impossible to tame. This dark romance series dives beneath the surface of civility to expose the brutal edge where desire and danger meet. Across twelve standalone stories, you’ll find mafia kings who kill for loyalty, stalkers who mistake devotion for salvation, captives who refuse to bow, and lovers bound by secrets that could destroy them both.

From smoky backrooms to locked chambers, each story cuts through illusion and safety alike. These aren’t fairytales. They’re confessions written in blood and temptation, where control is currency and trust is the rarest sin. The deeper you go, the harder it is to look away.

In a world where power demands sacrifice and darkness seduces the light who will survive, and who will surrender?
