Arran's Obsession
2024
I never planned to fall for my skeleton\-masked captor, but now there’s no turning back. I hated the gangs that ruled my city. After my friend was killed and my father vanished, I had no choice but to infiltrate one to figure out why. Entering their infamous club quickly showed me I was in over my head. Then the most feared gang leader took an interest in me. Arran was corrupt, deadly, and his searing gaze both terrified and tempted me. In my search for answers, I stumbled into his dark and dangerous game. The result? I belonged to him, with no chance of escape. In a heartbeat, I became Arran’s obsession. And in a terrible twist, I think he’s becoming mine. \-\- Arran’s Obsession is the first book in an interconnected dark romance trilogy featuring a murder mystery, a dark city, an adult entertainment club, and a crew of men who are possessive over what’s theirs. Tropes: · A masked gang and an adult club · Possessive, damaged men · Dangerous play (including free use and predator/prey) · Forced proximity · Set entirely at night Check the TWs in the front of the book or on my website if you need to (the list is as long as … it should be, dirty girl).

I was a walking red flag, but that skeleton-masked man was mine.
I always knew I was different—my obsession with catching Deadwater’s murderer with my Skeleton Girls Detective Agency, my hunger to hunt predators with my steel sharp and my manicure perfect. And now, my dangerous instalove for the skeleton crew’s new recruit. Riordan, with his tousled dark hair and striking green eyes, would be wise to run far from me. But it was infatuation at first sight, and there’s nothing I won’t do to keep him close. Even if it means risking everything. Yet love isn't simple for someone like me. If Riordan dared to love me back, the scars of my past could surface, and in the chaos, I might become his greatest threat. Until then, I’m ready to help him take down his enemies, to share his battle and make Riordan's revenge my own. But the murderer still haunts the city, and whatever happiness we find together is under threat.
How can I keep us both safe when the next name on the killer’s list is mine?
