THE SHAPE OF HIS CONTROL
“She was taken because she was useful. She stayed because leaving became impossible. She fell because control rewired her survival. Elara Vale never believed power could feel intimate-until Rowan Ashcroft made her his. Trapped inside the world of a man who owns everything he touches, Elara fights for autonomy while navigating rules she never agreed to. Rowan is cold, calculating, and ruthless-but beneath his control lies an obsession he refuses to name. As danger closes in from the outside, Elara must confront the most terrifying truth of all: the man who imprisoned her may be the only one keeping her alive. In a relationship built on power, protection, and psychological warfare, love is no longer a choice- it's a consequence.”
