Burned by Desire: A Dark Obsession Romance

He loved her once. Now he wants answers, obedience, and everything she tried to bury.

Five years after Celia Marris vanished without explanation, she walks back into Xavier Ashford’s glass-walled empire carrying secrets that can destroy them both. Xavier has turned heartbreak into wealth, power, and ruthless control, but one look at Celia proves the fire between them never died. It only learned how to burn darker.

What begins as a reunion becomes a private war of obsession, revenge, and desire neither of them can master. Every encounter drags them deeper into a world of boardroom betrayals, old wounds, and dangerous loyalty, while an unseen enemy turns the past into a weapon. In Manhattan’s glittering kingdom of money and power, trust is expensive, surrender is never simple, and loving the wrong person can cost everything.

Burned by Desire is a high-heat dark romance packed with second chances, corporate power plays, emotional wreckage, and relentless chemistry. For readers who crave ruthless devotion, sharp tension, and a love story built on secrets, scars, and mutual ruin, this one burns all the way through.
