Dangerous Obsession
189 pages
A high-angst, emotionally charged vintage romance where past rejections ignite into undeniable, forbidden passion.
What it feels like
This vintage category romance delivers a brisk, emotionally feverish reading experience built entirely around the delicious tension of forbidden attraction. The narrative thrives on high-stakes melodrama, plunging the reader into an atmosphere thick with unspoken desires, possessive jealousy, and the claustrophobic intimacy of a shared family history. The prose is classic of its era, breathless, dialogue-heavy, and intensely focused on the heroine's internal turmoil as she battles her long-suppressed feelings. It traces a deeply satisfying arc from defensive walls and lingering heartbreak to explosive confrontation and passionate surrender. Readers who devour the unapologetic angst, alpha heroes, and intense emotional push-and-pull of classic Mills and Boon novels will find themselves completely swept away by this dramatic reunion.

About the book
Anna had done her best to forget Dan.
Since her foster brother so cruelly dashed her hopes of winning his love, she'd tried to eliminate him from her thoughts and from her life.
It seemed easy enough--with Dan living in the Bahamas and she studying in England. Only now Dan was back and showed no inclination to keep out of Anna's way. Worse, he made no secret of his attraction to the grown-up Anna.
And he had no right to be so jealous of her friend Bryan when his own long-term loyalty lay elsewhere!
