Description

Meet your next BookTok obsession! A super spicy, funny, and dark romance perfect for fans of Lights Out, Haunting Adeline, and Butcher & Blackbird.

Murder brought us together.

Only death can keep us apart.

The Tormentor:

Calista belongs to me... she just doesn't know it.

The first time we met, I wanted her.

The next time, I was obsessed.

I watched her.

I followed her.

It only deepened my need to possess her.

Once she's mine, I'm never letting her go.

The Target:

Hayden Bennett is a monster, in and out of the courtroom.

Unfortunately, I need his help.

What was supposed to be a simple transaction turns into something else.

Something intense.

He's always there when I need him,

but I don't know if trusting him is a good idea...

Once You're Mine is Book 1 in the Possessing Her Duet that ends on a cliffhanger. It contains a morally grey hero that's OTT/JP, a stalker who falls first, has "Touch Her & Die" energy, and is willing to do whatever it takes to have her.
