Papercuts: Rune & Dorian

A dark, haunting romance of control, obsession, and the woman who dared to walk away.

Rune knew exactly what she was doing when she entered Dorian Albury's world. He was ice-cold, brilliant, and untouchable-a man who didn't believe in love, only contracts. She accepted the role he offered: loyal secretary by day, occasional lover at night-a silent shadow in his life. Her life was bound by rules and defined by limits he had drawn up right from the start. But when her usefulness runs out, Dorian discards her like a toy that no longer amused him. Only this time,

Rune walks away carrying something he never planned for and a truth she's kept hidden for years. Now, as she prepares to rebuild a life where she had given up her hopes for a life with him, Dorian is forced to confront what he thought he controlled. Because in his rulebook, Rune was never meant to matter. She was supposed to leave his life untouched. But some bonds go deeper than desire and some memories don't stay down.

A slow-burn tale of longing, betrayal, and the quiet strength it takes to choose yourself.
