CAPTIVE IN SILK is a Dark Romantic Suspense Novella about obsession, control, and the razor-thin line between protection and possession.
Laurel wakes up in a place that looks like a dream-high above Seattle, wrapped in luxury, surrounded by silence... and sealed inside a penthouse that isn't hers. The man who owns the view says she's safer here. That outside, someone is hunting her. That his rules are the only reason she's still breathing.
Warwick doesn't demand love. He doesn't ask for trust. He takes time-minute by minute, boundary by boundary-until Laurel can't tell what terrifies her more: the danger he claims is waiting beyond the door... or the calm certainty in his voice when he says she belongs here.
As days blur into surveillance routines, locked doors, and a housekeeper who watches too closely, Laurel starts noticing cracks in Warwick's story. A missing detail. A slipped word. A look that lingers too long. If he's lying, then the penthouse isn't a refuge-it's a cage.
But if he's telling the truth, then leaving could be a death sentence.
In a world where secrets have teeth and every touch comes with consequences, Laurel must decide who the real monster is... and what she's willing to risk to get out.
Perfect for readers who love dark romance with suspense, morally gray antiheroes, high-stakes tension, and twisty psychological thriller energy.
