Read Me Raw

She only wanted one night. One drink. One stranger. One moment to forget the world.

Instead, she got Draven Kael.

He doesn't ask. He doesn't chase. He watches. He waits. He takes.

One glance in a rain-soaked bar and the rules change. A single black rose on your desk. A video of you asleep, fingers curled between your thighs, his shadow across your skin. A cracked watch frozen at 3:33 that somehow ends up on your wrist.

You tell yourself you can walk away. You lie.

Because every message carves deeper. Every photograph steals another piece of you. Every touch brands his name into places you didn't know could burn.

He offers twenty-five nights. A contract signed in whiskey and want. Ten million dollars when it's over-if you still want to leave.

But Draven doesn't play for money. He plays for keeps.

And somewhere between the thorns inked into your spine, the diamond chain locked around your throat, and the library where the books write themselves as you live them, you stop pretending you ever wanted to be free.

You stop pretending this is just desire. This is ownership. This is an obsession so complete it rewrites reality.

This is the moment you realize the story was never about him claiming you.

It was about you finally admitting you were already his.

READ ME RAW is a standalone dark obsession romance containing stalking, surveillance, somnophilia, coercion, branding, public exposure, psychological manipulation, and a mind-bending twist that will leave you staring at the ceiling at 3:33 a.m., wondering who's really reading who.

If you like your romance raw, your heroes unhinged, and your endings dangerous-this one will ruin you in the best way.

Welcome to the chaos, gorgeous. You asked for heat. Don't blame me when you melt.
