He saved her once. Then he disappeared—like smoke in the night. Years ago, Kayden pulled Dani from the edge of ruin. He was a mystery with ocean-blue eyes and blood on his hands… a protector who vanished before she could ever say thank you. She spent years trying to forget him. But you never forget the man who made you feel safe in a world that tried to shatter you. Now he’s back. Watching. Waiting. Claiming. Kayden has kept his distance, terrified that his darkness would destroy her light. But the truth is darker still—he’s never stopped watching her. Never stopped wanting her. Because Dani was never truly free. She was only hidden. Only his. When her past resurfaces, vicious and unforgiving, Kayden steps out of the shadows. This time, he’s not letting her go. Not without a fight. She can run from the danger. She can even run from the truth. But she can’t run from him. Wicked Desires is a dark, obsessive romance with a morally gray hero, high-stakes tension, and the kind of twisted devotion that doesn’t end with “I love you”—it ends with you’re mine. Perfect for fans of stalker romances, possessive MMCs, and stories where the line between love and obsession burns up into smoke. This is book 3 in the Desires Trilogy. You must first read books 1 and 2 prior to Wicked Desires. Please check the content disclaimer at the beginning of the book. less
