P. Maitland | Dark & Monster Romance 🥀
The Honeypot
He’s the faceless obsession she worships online. She’s the one “stalker” he can’t get out of his head. Now, she’s sitting across from his desk.
Maddison Parker is loud, opinionated, and built like a goddess with vengeance running through her veins. After losing her last job for "passionate" reasons, she lands an interview at the prestigious Nights Tower. She expects a corporate shark; she doesn't expect Lucas Night—the emotionally repressed CEO who looks exactly like her secret online obsession, @helmetdaddy_xo.
Lucas Night built an empire on secrets and steel, but his only escape is the anonymous thirst-trap account where he finally feels noticed by one specific follower:
@booklover69. When Maddison struts into his office in leopard print and a "take-no-prisoners" attitude, Lucas’s carefully ordered world does a full reboot.
The game of cat and mouse is no longer confined to DMs. Maddison is circling him, armed with the knowledge of his double life and a desire to see him crumble. Between late-night confessions and office encounters that blur every professional line, the power dynamic is shifting.
In a world where the Night's name is synonymous with danger, falling for the man behind the mask might be the most "deranged" decision Maddison has ever made. But she isn't running. She’s ready to light the match and watch the empire burn—as long as she’s the one holding the flame.
VOWS OF RUIN
I wasn't promised, but I'm the bride he's bound to.
Sebastian Night is a monster cloaked in a tailored suit—the silent, ginger heir to a mafia empire built on blood and cold steel. Today should have been his wedding to my sister, Gloria. This was meant to be our families’ peace—the end of generations of violence and endless midnight fear.
But Gloria is gone. She thinks she broke free, not knowing I set her escape in motion, my heart pounding with guilt and desperation.
When I walked down the aisle in her place, I saw rage in Sebastian’s eyes. He wanted a truce; he got a trap. He thinks I’m the "Sunshine Princess" of the Goldsmith family—soft, curvy, and easily broken. Behind my smile, I’m fighting a war within my body.
Every step is a struggle against the flares of Crohn's and the exhaustion of PCOS, but I’ve learned to mask my pain as well as I mask my intentions. I married Sebastian not just for survival, but to get the power and autonomy I’ve always been denied. Sebastian wants a wife he can ignore. I want the power that comes with the Night name—and I’ll fight for it, no matter what.
He’s a brooding storm, and I’m the girl who invited rain. He may be the heir to an empire, but I’ll show him that the wrong bride is the only one who can handle his darkness.
The wrong bride turns into the Night bride.
