The Best Dark Romance Books

Pretty Monster by Sheridan Anne

Synopsis:

I’m addicted to my stalker.

He watches me at night, sneaking in through my living room window and making my blood turn to ice. I feel him all around me as chills snake down my spine. Each night he becomes bolder, getting closer and welcoming himself into my bedroom, feeding his addiction.

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.

Something Darker

by Michael Wellington

Synopsis:

It’s been three months since I escaped from my abusive ex-boyfriend, Ryan, but my life hasn’t gotten any easier. The large gap in my employment history, thanks to Ryan refusing to allow me to work, means no one wants to hire me. But I can’t stay in my best friend Ava’s spare bedroom forever. Especially since Ava and her husband are in the midst of turning it into a nursery for the baby they are so loudly trying to conceive every night.

To make matters worse, the bills for my mother’s stay in an Alzheimer’s care facility are racking up fast. And if I don’t find a way to pay for them soon, Ryan will make good on his threats to make himself my mother’s power of attorney, thereby controlling me through my mother until the day she dies.

So when I get offered a job for a live-in maid position at a mysterious mansion for a gorgeous wealthy couple, I take it, despite Ava’s protests. But what I don’t realize is that my new bosses want me to service more than just their house. And to my surprise, I find myself wanting to service more.

To service them.

But when I discover the truth about what happened to the couples’ previous maid, everything changes…

Devil’s Gambit by Jade Rowe

Synopsis:

My abusive husband lost me in a poker game.
Now I belong to the most dangerous man in New York.
And he only has one condition:

Give him two weeks.

Two weeks under the constant watch of his whisky-colored eyes.
Two weeks next to his perfect, tattoo-covered body. In his billion-dollar bed.

Two weeks to be treated like a queen. And dominated like his toy.

Two weeks. That’s all Dante Caruso demands. Then I can make my decision.
Leave this dark life behind and never look back. Or become his forever.

But there’s one secret he doesn’t mention. Something I could never have predicted.

He’d burn the world down to make me stay.
And I’ll yearn to melt in the fire.

Little Mouse by Emily Rose

Synopsis:

Nico:
She was never meant to cross my path, but now she’s locked in a gilded cage, at my mercy. I don’t even know her name, but I know she’s mine, and I’ll stop at nothing to possess her. As our dangerous games escalate, my obsession grows stronger. My sweet little mouse is clever, and that only fuels my desire for her. I want her in my bed, at my side, and anywhere else I choose. But when secrets unravel, and unexpected enemies threaten her life, my priorities shift. I’ll protect what’s mine at any cost, even if I must convince her too…

Gia:
It was a simple mistake, a misstep, but now I’m locked away by a man who may appear heroic but is the villain of my story. He calls me his little mouse, thinking I’m timid, but I’m clever, and I won’t stop until I escape. Nico Armani surprises me, as he doesn’t act as I expected. He doesn’t hurt me for trying to flee, and I’m starting to realize he’s more complex than I thought. When he discovers my identity and past, he changes, revealing a side that makes my heart race. My body betrays me, craving him when I shouldn’t. As my family closes in, I’m faced with choices: escape and leave him as a memory, or stay with the man who ignites forbidden desires within me.

I Will Break You by Gigi Styx

Synopsis:

My prison pen pal got the electric chair.
So how can he sext me from the grave?

Prey

I see dead people, and not just the men I murdered.

I’m in danger of being committed because I can’t tell what’s real from my hallucinations.

Everyone thinks I’m crazy when the serial killer I jilted starts haunting my house.

He assassinates any man who shows me interest, leaving their body parts under my pillow.

During the day, his gaslighting destroys my peace of mind.

But at night, he invades my nightmares and makes me crave the depravity.

Predator

She ghosted me at the altar. Now, I’m aching for revenge.

I want to break her, piece by delicious piece. Revel in her terror. Bathe in her screams. Make her moan my name.

Someone from her past wants her captured or dead, so it’s up to me to protect her from the shadows.

She belongs to me and no one else—body, mind, and soul.

If I don’t take out her enemies, I’ll lose more than just my beautiful obsession.
