Scarlett (h) thought she had escaped him. Adrian (H) was her high school tormentor—the boy who made her life hell with his relentless obsession, disturbing letters, and twisted promises. When he disappeared, she thought it was over. But years later, he’s back, out of prison, stronger, more dangerous, and just as fixated on her as ever. One chance encounter at the gym is all it takes for him to sink his claws back in. He tells her they have unfinished business. That she’ll see him again—whether she wants to or not. Scarlett knows she should run. But there’s something about Adrian that keeps pulling her back, a force she doesn’t understand and doesn’t want to name. As much as she fights, he’s always one step ahead, always in control. She goes to him, ostensibly to put an end to things. But he isn’t letting her go, and with the door locked and no escape, Scarlett is at his mercy. Adrian strips away her resistance piece by piece, forcing Scarlett to respond even when she doesn’t want to, making her body betray her. Adrian forces her to submit, not just physically, but mentally, breaking through every last shred of resistance, leaving Scarlett with the realization that she doesn’t know if she wants to escape. Ultra-hot and steamy, dark, intense romantic erotica, exploring themes of power, control, and the fine line between fear and desire. An intense introduction to Adrian and Scarlett's relationship in this first book of the Obsession series. That's some advice from Gran.
