He was watching her long before she ever knew his name.
And now that he has her… he’s never letting her go.
Ivy has spent her entire life trying to prove she deserves to exist. Adopted into a family that reminded her she was lucky to be chosen. Haunted by the truth of where she came from—an act of violence she can’t outrun. Carrying scars she hides, secrets she’ll never say out loud. She’s learned how to survive. Stay quiet. Stay small. Don’t need too much. Don’t be too much.

Soren doesn’t feel the way other people do. He studies them. Understands them. Learns how to become exactly what they need—when it suits him. But her? She’s different. He’s been watching her. Learning her. Memorizing every fracture line beneath the surface. And the more he sees…the more he knows one thing with absolute certainty: She belongs to him.

What starts as something intense—something intoxicating—quickly becomes something else. Something deeper. Darker. He doesn’t just want her love. He wants everything. Her thoughts. Her fears. Her past. The parts of her she’s spent a lifetime hiding. And worst of all? She starts to give it to him. Because with him, control feels like safety. Obsession feels like love. And the line between protection and possession begins to blur. She knows she should run. She knows there are things about him that aren’t right. But every step she takes toward him feels easier than walking away. And the deeper she falls… the harder it becomes to tell if she’s being claimed—or consumed.
