Sweet Obsession

Love Theoretically meets Lights Out in this swoony dark rom-com with a morally grey lead who wants to learn everything he can about the woman he’s obsessed with, but stalking her isn’t as easy as he anticipated.

Summer keeps her dark fantasies close to her chest—and between the pages of her favorite books. With a globetrotter mother and a traveling artist best friend, Summer seeks her adventures as a professional fake girlfriend, spending her days pretending to be anyone other than herself for a thrill and a lucrative paycheck. Of course, being a professional fake girlfriend makes dating a bit . . . challenging. Especially when her new client is the same man who accidentally broke into her apartment—the same man she hasn’t been able to stop thinking about since. But if Noah knew the real Summer, if he knew her fantasies of being the object of a man’s obsession and unshakable devotion, she’s not sure he’d want any relationship with her—fake or not. Noah didn’t mean to break into Summer’s home. In his drunken state, he mistook her apartment for his friend’s, but now that he’s met gorgeous, fiery Summer, he’s found the perfect candidate to convince his overbearing family that he’s over his recent breakup: a professional fake girlfriend. Except the more Noah gets to know Summer, the more his obsession grows. He wants to know everything about her, and based on the books on her shelf and her own drunken confession, she’s not against a little light stalking. Unfortunately, from unsuccessfully hiding behind menus to mistakenly leaving his return address on gifts to getting caught peering through her window, Noah isn’t exactly nailing this whole stalking thing. And his messiness has obviously attracted the attention of the wrong person because things for Noah go very, very badly. As in, find-yourself-locked-in-the-trunk-of-a-car bad. So maybe stalking isn’t quite as easy as he had hoped.
