Elise wanted to be good, once. But goodness never saved her, and love never tamed the monster in her bones. Now, she burns for the kind of ruin only her own darkness can deliver.
Liam thinks he's the hero of her story, the one who'll put her back together, gentle hands and golden heart. He sees the bruises, the haunted eyes, the careful lies. He wants to save her. He doesn't realize he's already lost.
Because Elise doesn't just have a past, she has a shadow. Nathan isn't her ex. He's the voice in her head: sharp, possessive, hungry. The imaginary demon she created to survive the things nobody else could see. He's obsession. He's punishment. He's every secret need Elise never dared to whisper out loud.
Now, as Liam tries to love her back to life through her spiral, Nathan feeds on every ache, every desperate plea. He marks her, owns her, ruins her and he does it all from inside her mind.
Some girls are haunted by what's been done to them. Elise is haunted by the thing she made from it.
Self Control is a raw, twisted dark romance about a woman torn between the boy who would save her and the demon who owns her soul
Self Control is a filthy cocktail of:
- Possessive paranormal monster/demon romance
- Dark psychological spiral
- Voyeurism/exhibitionism
- Love triangle with a villain instead of a "boyfriend"
- Corruption kink
- Mindf**k/gaslight horror
- Femme fatale origin story
You can call it "dark romance" or "erotic thriller," but it's really a book about what happens when the monster you fear is the part of yourself you finally let off the leash.
- Psychological spirals and primal possession
- One haunted woman. One ghost with a mouth. One very broken good boy.
