Psyched - Paperback

by Harper Belle (Author)

Dr. Ethan Blackridge has built his life on control.

A brilliant psychiatrist with a reputation for icy precision, Ethan has spent years dissecting the human mind while keeping his own darkness locked behind impenetrable walls. To him, love is nothing more than a chemical flaw-dangerous, irrational, and beneath him.

Until Hannah Grace Hall walks into his office.

Quietly beautiful and far stronger than she seems, Hannah unsettles Ethan in ways he cannot explain. What begins as professional fascination quickly curdles into something far more dangerous. He starts craving her presence, anticipating her every visit, and crossing lines he once believed were untouchable. Soon, watching her from the safety of his office is no longer enough.

He learns her routines. Studies her fears. Slips himself into the fragile spaces of her life until she begins to trust him... need him... maybe even love him.

But obsession is never satisfied for long.

Evelynn Rose Write is another of Ethan's patients-intense, volatile, and disturbingly perceptive. She sees the hunger Ethan tries to hide, and when she realizes Hannah is the reason for his unraveling, her own fixation takes a deadly turn. Evelynn doesn't want Ethan's attention.

She wants all of him.

And if Hannah is the one thing standing in her way, then Hannah has to disappear.

As desire twists into manipulation, and obsession spirals into violence, Ethan is forced to confront the monster inside himself. Because saving Hannah may mean destroying the carefully controlled man he's pretended to be.

In this dark and seductive psychological romance, love is not a refuge-it's a trap.
