The Quiet Collector is a dark, obsessive romance unlike any other.
In a dusty, dim bookstore, Ivy finds more than a job. She finds Lucien Marrow...quiet, controlled, meticulous. He stalks the aisles like a shadow, collecting secrets in silence.
At first it’s only glances, small rituals, a coin placed on her tongue. But soon the rituals deepen...counts, rules, blades, ash, and blood. What begins as compulsion becomes complicit desire. Ivy learns to obey, learns to want, learns the true cost of surrender.
But Lucien is not only a collector of books. He keeps trophies in places no one will ever read. And when the hunt closes in, Ivy must decide: is she his captive, or his accomplice?
A story of appetite and aftermath. Ash and teeth. Love at its most deviant. Obsession at its most ruinous.
Genre: Horror
