I've been watching her. Wanting her. Stalking her. I'm obsessed with the shy, innocent barista who works at my favorite coffee shop. She doesn't know that I bought the house across the street from her apartment so that I can watch over her. I secretly collect her paintings and hang them in my bedroom. And I won't hesitate to break into her home to find out what kind of books she likes to read. I'll do whatever it takes to win her heart. As a doctor, I know my own diagnosis: psychopath. But my obsession with her makes me feel almost human for the first time in my life. I can't resist this...compulsion. I can't resist her.

The man I love betrayed me on a level I never thought possible. I trusted him to keep me safe. He was my white knight and my dark god, all in one gorgeous package. Until an awful revelation changed everything. Now, I'm desperate to escape his twisted obsession, but he refuses to let me go. He takes me away from my home and traps me in a gilded cage. He insists that I still love him, but he can't command my affections. No matter how much pleasure he gives me or how many times he says I belong to him. For a man like Dane, I don't think redemption is possible, even if some secret part of my heart yearns for it to be true.

I might be a monster, but I’m her monster. When a ghost from our past returns to threaten Abigail, I will do anything to protect her. She says she doesn’t want me to kill for her again, but I don’t think I’m capable of mercy. Especially not when her safety is on the line. Even though I’m a psychopath, I’m not delusional. After all of my crimes, I’ll never be worthy of her. But I’ve been honest with her from the I’m too selfish to let her go. I’ll do whatever it takes to keep my little dove caged forever. And I’ll eliminate anyone who tries to take her from me. I don’t need absolution. I just need her.
