Quiet Burn: He Stole Me for Vengeance But I Stayed for the Fire

Leila’s brother bets against the wrong people, and she’s the one who disappears.

One second she’s unlocking her apartment door. The next, rough hands yank a hood over her head, tires hiss on wet asphalt, and she comes to in a mountain cabin that smells of pine and gun oil.

Her jailer answers to Ash. He’s built like a wall, face crossed with old knife work, and he hasn’t said a word since they dumped her here. He just watches, those pale gray eyes taking in everything while giving nothing back.

The days drag. He leaves plates of food on the table, fingers brushing hers only when he has to. He chops wood outside her window, shoulders flexing under a worn black shirt, breath fogging in the cold. Silence fills the rooms until it presses against her skin.

Still, pieces of him slip out. A half-healed burns under his sleeve, the way he flinches at sudden noise, the tight line of his jaw every time his phone buzzes with new orders.

The door stays unlocked now. She could walk down the muddy track and vanish.

But every night he stands closer, heat rolling off him, the air thick quiet shifting into something else entirely.

Can Leila leave the only man who’s ever looked at her like she’s already his, or will she pull him into the fire with her?

Her descent into danger is just one heartbeat in the world of Twisted Obsessions, where every story dares to ask how far love can fall before it becomes something darker and far more irresistible.

In "Twisted Obsessions" love isn’t soft it’s sharp, raw, and impossible to tame. This dark romance series dives beneath the surface of civility to expose the brutal edge where desire and danger meet. Across twelve standalone stories, you’ll find mafia kings who kill for loyalty, stalkers who mistake devotion for salvation, captives who refuse to bow, and lovers bound by secrets that could destroy them both.

From smoky backrooms to locked chambers, each story cuts through illusion and safety alike. These aren’t fairytales. They’re confessions written in blood and temptation, where control is currency and trust is the rarest sin. The deeper you go, the harder it is to look away.

In a world where power demands sacrifice and darkness seduces the light who will survive, and who will surrender?
