Captivate Me

A Dark Captive Romance

Beauty and the Beast meets Freeform’s Cruel Summer in this dark captive romance. One girl searches for her missing best friend while the other wakes up in a dangerous man’s basement. Both are falling for a man they can’t have . . .

CASSIE

My best friend is missing, and everyone wants to know what happened to beautiful, perfect Noelle van Buren.

But the deeper we get into our search, the closer I get to Theo St. James, Noelle’s boyfriend. Nothing can happen between us. We don’t know if Noelle’s still out there, if she’ll come back someday.

Except . . . I can’t seem to stay away.

NOELLE

When I wake up bound and gagged in someone’s basement, Beau Grayson is watching me. I’ve seen him on my college campus, but I barely know him. He’s beautiful, mysterious, and rumor has it, dangerous.

Now, he’s keeping me here, and I have no idea when I’ll get out. If I’ll escape this. Because, against every instinct, I’m falling for him. 

But who could fall in love with their kidnapper?

FAQ

Thank you so much for your interest in my books! You can purchase signed paperbacks from my shop or paperbacks from the retailer of your choice. Available retailers are listed on the book page. You can also purchase my ebooks on Amazon or read them FREE in Kindle Unlimited!

I began drafting Captivate Me in April 2023 and finished the first draft in June. After a round of self-edits, I sent the book to my first round of betas in July.

Captivate Me is very spicy. There are explicit sexual situations throughout, some of which include particular kinks like bondage and orgasm as punishment.

Captivate Me is multi-POV. There are four POV characters: Cassie, Noelle, Beau, and Theo. The couples are Cassie and Theo, and Noelle and Beau.

I watched the first season of Freeform’s Cruel Summer and wanted to write a book that was just as twisty, but taboo and spicy.
