Iron Bars and Ink: I Wrote to a Convict. I Didn’t Expect to Fall.

Tessa Hale never meant to fall for a man in prison. The pen-pal program she started for her students was supposed to teach compassion, not test her own. But when Atlas Stone’s first letter arrived raw, eloquent, almost painful in its honesty something inside her shifted. Curiosity turned into late nights reading his words again and again.

Atlas isn’t the villain headlines made him out to be. His letters reveal a man shaped by loss and regret, still reaching for redemption. What began as a lesson becomes something neither can walk away from a fragile tether of truth, longing, and danger.

When Atlas is released early, fantasy collides with reality. The man she only knew through ink and paper now stands before her real, intense, and just as captivating. But freedom comes with a price, and the secrets they’ve both kept threaten to unravel everything.

Some connections are a lifeline. Others are a sentence. Which one will this become?

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?
