Description

From USA Today bestselling author and TikTok sensation comes the gripping, steamy taboo romance series that everyone is talking about!

'Filled with TENSION, HEARTBREAK and ELECTRIC CHEMISTRY. This one will tear your heart right out of your chest before tossing it back in and sewing you up,' No. 1 New York Times bestselling author Brynne Weaver

'Leigh Rivers is THE QUEEN OF DARK ROMANCE. Her books are deeply emotive and her characters feel so vividly real,' Tierney Page

Owning her was all he ever wanted . . .

Everything about Olivia belongs to Malachi Vize. Her mind. Her body. Her soul. Her fear. Her pain.

When she sends him to prison, her betrayal runs deep. Now free, he wants revenge against the one girl he shouldn't want. His forbidden obsession. His foster sister. He's spent years planning for this, and now he's ready to haunt her.

When Halloween comes, he can no longer lurk in the shadows. All he has left to own is her heart, even if he needs to take it.

Little Stranger is a dark, taboo romance and contains explicit sexual content and difficult themes. Please read the content warnings before reading. Recommended 18+.
