BENEATH HER SKIN (21+)

All Rights Reserved ©

Summary

Every obsession begins with a glance. And every glance is a wound waiting to deepen. Lucian Vale, a reclusive forensic artist haunted by the faces of the dead, sees her once—Evelyn Mire, a trauma therapist celebrated for rescuing a kidnapped girl. But what the world calls heroic, Lucian sees as divine. And once her image burns into his mind, it never leaves. He sketches her. Watches her. Studies the silk of her sleepwear, the way she hums to herself in the dark. He inserts himself into her life, quietly and perfectly, like a shadow stitched beneath her skin. But Evelyn is no ordinary prey. She's fractured, seductive, unknowingly complicit in the game he plays. Because deep within her, a darkness answers his. As Lucian’s obsession escalates into a dangerous symphony of voyeurism, possession, and forbidden lust, Evelyn’s own trauma blooms into something just as perverse. When she discovers his secrets—his shrine of sketches, the letters beneath her floorboards—she doesn’t scream. She moans. And welcomes the madness. But in a world where love tastes like blood and control feels like worship, who is truly the predator, and who is being devoured? It is a thriller where pain seduces, silence binds, and the most dangerous love is the one that sees all your scars...and wants to kiss them deeper..
