Little Stranger by Leigh Rivers (Paperback)

Malachi Vize has spent years consumed by a forbidden obsession that began the moment he met Olivia, his foster sister. What once existed as a complicated bond has twisted into something darker after betrayal and imprisonment leave him with nothing but anger, fixation, and an unshakable need for control over the person he believes belongs to him.

After being sent to prison for years, Malachi returns with one purpose: to confront Olivia and claim back what he feels was taken from him. Their shared past is marked by pain, fractured trust, and emotional damage that continues to shape every interaction between them. What remains is a volatile connection built on history, resentment, and a pull neither can fully escape.

As circumstances force them back into close proximity, boundaries blur and tensions rise. Malachi’s obsession deepens as he refuses to let go, while Olivia is forced to confront the consequences of choices that changed both of their lives. The line between protection, possession, and destruction becomes increasingly difficult to define.

Set against a backdrop of psychological tension and emotional intensity, this dark romance explores control, obsession, and the consequences of unresolved trauma. Every encounter pushes both characters further into a complex dynamic where love and harm become difficult to separate.

Perfect for readers who enjoy dark taboo romance, obsessive love stories, psychological intensity, forbidden relationships, and high-stakes emotional conflict.
