Serving the Shadow in My House

For twenty-four months, she yielded completely to an unseen authority in total darkness, never glimpsing the man she obeyed. Everything shifts when she moves in with Adrian, whose chilling tone and demanding aura feel hauntingly recognizable. The boundaries dissolve completely once he turns out to be her university lecturer. But after a spiteful rival traps her in a freezing lockup, Adrian breaks through iron doors to save her life. Awakening in recovery, the illusion finally shatters: the strict scholar, her stepbrother, and her midnight ruler are all the exact same man.
