The Obsession
A dark, slow-burn captive romance with a stalker hero, forced proximity, and explicit heat. A Sicilian mafia heir watches his obsession for weeks before taking her. She came to restore cathedrals. He’s about to make her his most prized possession.
This is Book 1 of The Dark Obsession Series and ends on a cliffhanger.
She restores broken things. He destroys them.
Violet Murphy prefers crumbling cathedrals to people. Sicily was meant to be six months of quiet work and solitude. Nobody told her she was being watched.For weeks, someone learned her coffee order, her work schedule, the way she tucks her hair when she concentrates. She never saw him coming.
Elio Marchetti is Syndicate royalty with blood on his hands and ice where his conscience should be. He has a fiancée his father chose, a legacy written in violence, and rules he’s never broken.
Until her.
The moment he saw her in that cathedral, he stopped pretending he had a choice.
Now she wakes in silk sheets inside his fortress—drugged, taken, caged. A wardrobe in her exact size. Art supplies waiting like a promise. Or a threat. Every detail calculated. Every escape route sealed.
She fights him. Defies him. Learns to read the monster behind those cold eyes.
And hates that something in his darkness calls to something in hers.
But Elio’s obsession has made her a target. His father sees weakness. The Syndicate smells blood. And the enemies circling his empire won’t hesitate to destroy the woman he’s foolish enough to want.
The monster who stole her may be the only thing keeping her alive.
He doesn’t know how to love. Only how to keep.
She became his darkest obsession.
