Obsession sounds like love.
 

Some love stories are confessions.
 

Some are traps.
 

When Yvette Palmer returns a misdelivered package to her volatile neighbor, she expects a slammed door.
 

Instead, she's invited inside.
 

Mona Smith doesn't want her mail.
 

She wants someone to listen.
 

What begins as curiosity becomes compulsion as Mona unravels the story of her obsessive affair with a married professor—brilliant, powerful, intoxicating. He saw her. Studied her. Isolated her.

And loved her in ways that felt like worship . . .  and ownership.
 

The more Mona confesses, the harder it becomes for Yvette to pull away. Because the story doesn't feel finished.
 

It feels unfinished.
 

As pieces of Mona's past begin to echo into Yvette's present, suspicion takes root. Is Mona a victim? A manipulator? Or something more dangerous?
 

And if the man Mona loved is still watching . . . 
 

Yvette may already be part of the story.
 

In this psychologically charged romance about obsession, vulnerability, and the stories we tell to survive, love is not a rescue.
 

It's a distortion.

"A brilliantly compelling read!"--Perkins, Amazon Reviewer ★★★★★

"It is extremely compelling and I could not stop reading, this book is pure escapism and would make a brilliant film or mini series. I found it completely different to the usual thrillers that I read, but I really enjoyed it and would not hesitate to recommend it to others."--A L H, Amazon Reviewer ★★★★★

"This is an exciting book that will definitely take you out of your ordinary, day-to-day routine."--Linda Brooks, Amazon Reviewer ★★★★★

"This was a really unique and well done mystery / thriller. I liked everything about the authors style and the way the mystery reveals itself. It's a story within a story, and it quite enjoyable to read that way."--Cid Herman, Amazon Reviewer ★★★★★

"Wow. This book should be a movie. . . .I enjoyed it and couldn't put it down. . . the suspense and intrigue in the story was page-turning and had me riveted. . . .Now I have to read a cozy mystery to calm myself down."--Amazon Reviewer ★★★★★

"People, here is another edge of your seat,nail biting, stay up all night,great read."--Sonya, Amazon Reviewer ★★★★★

"A dark and surprising tale. If you are not into a book that you can't guess with a real twist at the end, or not comfortable with dark subjects, it is not the book for you."--kbuell, Amazon Reviewer ★★★★★
