Trapped: Book One of Three in the I Will Possess Your Heart Trilogy

This is not a love story.
This is conditioning, costumed to pass as love.

Liam Barnette is a lot of charming, powerful, careful.
He may even be the kind of man people warn you about.

For me, he is the man who rearranges my life so quietly that, if you are not paying attention, it looks like generosity.

At Holbrook University, Liam has influence, patience, and an unnerving instinct for where to apply pressure. He does not chase. He does not court. He hunts—and knowing you’re prey is worse.

What happens between us is not love as it is supposed to be. Liam does not love. He observes, refines, and conquers until the girl standing in front of him no longer resembles the one who arrived at Holbrook.

By the time I understand what I have lost, he is the only one who knows how to hold what remains. There is no redemption, no rescue. Liam is not a hero, but he never pretends to be one, either.

Trapped is a psychological dark romance featuring a morally black male lead, emotional manipulation, and an unsettling version of a happy ending.
