Rated 18 | Dark Romance | Mafia | Stalker
Ariana Park's life shattered the night she caught her ex with her best friend. Since then, she’s rebuilt her world piece by piece—alone, guarded, and determined to never be vulnerable again. But someone’s been watching her. Studying her. Waiting.
Brandon Marshall is ruthless, calculated, and feared by everyone in the criminal underworld. But nothing has ever consumed him like Ariana. From the shadows, he’s watched her every move, craving her like a man starved. And now, he’s done waiting.
When their paths finally collide, Ariana is pulled into a world of danger, obsession, and forbidden passion. Brandon is possessive, relentless, and completely unhinged—but he swears he’d burn the world to protect her. Even from herself.
Just as she begins to question everything she thought she knew about love and desire, the past comes knocking. Her ex, James, returns—remorseful, desperate, and ready to fight for her heart.
But in a game where obsession cuts deeper than love, and secrets are more dangerous than lies…
Who will Ariana choose?
The man who broke her?
Or the monster who never let her go?
