A god obsessed. A woman who can't escape his love.As old as time, born from nothing, I command the forsaken remnants of all that once lived. Bone shapes the kingdom over which I rule, and the rotting flesh of man does my bidding. Sequestered away from mortals, I long for warmth, but everything I touch is cold.Except for her, the woman who stumbles into the shadowed depths of the Pale Court. In her reluctant embrace, Ada calls me the devil, so I show her pleasure like only the devil can.?I am the heat that rouses her flesh.I am the longing that trembles her bone.?No matter how she hisses defiance, her body was made to obey my every desire. I am its master, no matter her wish to flee my dark, cold kingdom. Ada will never escape my devotion. Bone will shackle her to me for eternity.?Because immortality is loneliness in disguise. A curse I cannot bear suffering alone any longer, so I lock Ada away behind doors guarded by corpses, forcing her to carry it with me forevermore.Welcome to the Pale Court, my Queen.

Pale Court Duet - Moonlight Edition
Same obsessed undead king and captive heroine, with fae-court expansion and a full HEA instead of a hopeful-for-now pause.
Crown Me Dead
Rot-and-bone kingdom aesthetics and a monstrous ruler again, though the bargain-driven love triangle is more tragic and less captivity-focused.
Claimed
Also a taken-captive woman bound to a morally-grey ruler, but swap the bone god for gritty post-apocalyptic survival and found family.
Untainted
Keeps the gore-heavy, morally-grey darkness and forced proximity, but trades god-and-captive fantasy for a bleak apocalyptic sci-fi war.
Satan's Affair
Villain love interest and equally graphic obsession, but the killer POV is a woman and the tone leans gleefully gruesome instead of mythic.
Too Late
Another obsessive, possessive dark love with dubious consent, but grounded in contemporary drug-world suspense rather than immortal fantasy.
