What is Stalker Romance?
Stalker romance can be a tricky genre—it’s all about stories where one person’s pursuit of another crosses the line between intense attraction and, well, crossing boundaries. It’s like that plot where someone gets super fixated on another person, often to the point of being, let’s say, overly persistent or invasive. Sometimes, it’s presented in a way that’s meant to be thrilling or romantic, but it definitely dances along that edge of discomfort for some readers. It’s all about that blurred line between obsession and affection.

Book Description
Emily
Never enter the mortuary after midnight.
I thought it was superstition.
How could I have known Dad was cremating corpses for a crime lord?
I should’ve listened. Now, it’s too late.
A cold-blooded monster has me in his sights.
My stalker. My captor. My ruin.
I should hate Ruarc for using me to blackmail my father.
But with every rough touch and wicked promise, I lose myself to his dark seduction.
Soon, there won’t be any of me left.
Ruarc
Don’t get involved.
Good advice, especially for someone dealing in secrets and sins.
I lived by that rule since I took the throne.
Until her.
The undertaker never told me he had a daughter.
One with emerald fire in her eyes and enough soul to share.
I decided Emily was mine from that first moment.
Mine to touch. Mine to mold. Mine to break.
And I plan on keeping her.
If you’re still with me, sit the fuck down and turn that page like a good girl.

One text to the wrong number…mine…and everything changed.
He won’t tell me his last name, and maybe that should throw up a thousand red flags, but when I’m all alone in a new city and struggling to make ends meet, his texts are the lifeline I’ve been desperate for.

He’s trying to sweep me off my feet now. He says he’s obsessed. He wants me wearing his number…permanently.

Book Description
Fornication is a sin.
As it reads, we should flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body.
They teach us that these thoughts, these actions, are immoral. But that dark side that lives inside all of us, the true nature of man, drives us to seek the need that burns within, demanding to be set free. Deep inside of our bones lies that intrinsic need, one desperate to escape. An innate behavior, seemingly out of our control.
One that screams for sins they tell us are condemning.
Aero is the throat from which I scream.
The dark parts of myself I want hidden from this world are all he sees when he gazes at me beneath yet another mask.
He’s the demon drowning me in my own underlying desires.
He may never stop. Not until I succumb to my truths, or die beneath the weight of his unrelenting grasp.
Because according to him, the life I’ve been living is a hell far worse than death.
Recognize Briony, that I’m the air to your fire. All you need to do is fan the flame.

This unhinged desire I have for my angel isn’t going to end well. For either of us.
Lucy
When you wake up to the silhouette of a man standing in the shadows of your bedroom, you probably shouldn’t invite him into your bed.
I did though. And now I don’t know how to fall asleep without him.

I’m addicted to my stalker.

When I feel the warmth of his skin brushing over mine, I pretend to sleep, terrified of what he plans to do with me. But when he touches me … my whole body comes alive.
I’ve never seen his face, and don’t even know his name, but I want to. Every part of me knows this is wrong, but I can’t bring myself to lock the window, to tell him no.
He thrills me, but living life on the edge doesn’t come without consequences.
He’s sick in the head, addicted to this infatuation, and obsessed with his messed-up mind games. But maybe I’m just as sick as he is because, whether I like it or not … I’m addicted to my stalker.
