I never imagined I'd lose my heart to the man who stole my freedom, but now I'm caught in a web of desire I can't escape. I was just a small-town girl with big dreams of creating video games. But when Phoenix, the carnival's enigmatic hacker, set his sights on me, my world turned upside down. His ice-blue eyes terrified and tempted me, drawing me into a twisted game of obsession and desire. Kidnapped and thrust into his dark world, I quickly realized I was in over my head. Phoenix was dangerous, brilliant, and hauntingly alluring. His past trauma fueled a need for control that both frightened and fascinated me. Every attempt to reclaim my freedom had me sinking deeper into his intricate maze of manipulation. I became his possession, with no chance of escape. My death was faked, my old life erased, and I belonged to him completely. As the carnival lights flicker and the darkness closes in, I must do I fight against the chains that bind us or surrender to the intoxicating pull of our shared madness? Carnival Stalker is a dark romance with heavy subjects that some readers may find triggering. A full list of the warnings will be found on my website. This story has no cliffhanger and ends with a HEA.
