Corrupt Erika has spent years watching Michael from the shadows—the dangerous, magnetic older brother she shouldn't be thinking about—but when she finally escapes to college, he emerges from the darkness with his own ruthless agenda. What starts as a cat-and-mouse game between them becomes dangerously complicated when Michael's intentions collide with Erika's secrets, forcing them both to confront the twisted obsession that's been simmering between them all along. This is a deliciously dark, slow-burn romance where the line between predator and prey gets thrillingly blurred, and neither of them can walk away. If you love morally gray characters and intense psychological tension wrapped in steamy chemistry, this standalone will absolutely consume you.

Mix industrial beats, moody R&B, and haunting indie—artists like The Weeknd, Cigarettes After Sex, and FKA twigs. Heavy on slow-burn intensity, whispered vocals, and that addictive pull of forbidden attraction.”
