Written Obsession: Before (Inescapable Obsessions Series)

Mara Jennings built her life on invisibility, her quiet existence a shield against a world that overlooked her. But someone has seen her. And he intends to claim her. Her stalled writing career already left her adrift in the dark city of Duskhaven.

Now, objects in her apartment shift, a mysterious fountain pen appears from nowhere, and unsettling scents linger in the air—each calculated disruption dissolving her careful reality. A powerful, obsessive man—a rare book collector in a war of shadows—has chosen Mara as his next acquisition. He knows her deepest fears, her unspoken hungers, and he’s architecting her world, piece by calculated piece, until resistance becomes unthinkable.

As her sanctuary crumbles, Mara can’t deny the terrifying pull of the darkness that claims her. This alpha male stalker, this architect of her unraveling, promises a cage so beautiful she’ll never want to leave it—a possession so complete it feels like true freedom.

Written Obsession: Before is the electrifying dark romance novella prologue to Ethan and Mara’s full story. Dive into a world of intense obsession, psychological manipulation, and undeniable power dynamics where the line between stalker and savior blurs beyond recognition, and love begins with total possession.
