What Love Becomes

Erika Summers thought he was just another customer.
A quiet man with a polite smile and a daily coffee order.

James Carter thought she was the beginning of everything he'd been waiting for.

What starts as a simple interaction at a neighborhood café spirals into something darker as James's fascination with Erika grows into a dangerous obsession he mistakes for love. Each moment she forgets becomes one he obsesses over. Each kindness she extends becomes proof they are meant to be. And each boundary she sets becomes another sign that someone is keeping them apart.

As James's grasp on reality unravels, Erika's world shrinks into one of fear, locked doors, and constant vigilance. What follows is a haunting descent into the mind of a man who confuses control with devotion - and the courage of the woman who must reclaim her life from the shadow he casts.
