Description

MINE

A Sceau Blanc Saga novel

For years, Lena Monroe has mastered the art of disappearing.

By day, she writes stories about heroines who dare to want more.
By night, she plays the perfect wife beside a man who values control more than connection, image more than intimacy.

From the outside, her marriage to Mark Monroe looks flawless. Successful. Polished. Untouchable.
Behind closed doors, Lena has been quietly fading, one sacrifice at a time.

Then a car accident throws her into the orbit of Dr. Daniel Carter.

Brilliant. Reserved. Devastatingly self-contained.
Daniel is the last man she should trust. He shares a complicated history with her husband—one built on rivalry, betrayal, and a professional disaster that cost him everything. He should walk away. She should stay loyal.

What begins as proximity turns into tension.
Tension turns into recognition.

Daniel doesn’t look at Lena the way others do. He sees what she keeps buried: the anger, the hunger, the woman who is tired of being a ghost in her own life. With him, she isn’t an accessory, a prop, a polite silence. She’s seen. And once he has her attention, he doesn’t know how to let go.

But desire doesn’t come without consequences.

Old grudges resurface. Loyalties fracture. Mark refuses to lose the image he built, no matter the cost. And as Lena steps closer to the truth of who she is—and who she wants—she’s pulled into a world where power is negotiated in shadows, from Geneva’s private clinics to off-the-grid labs that don’t ask permission to rewrite the rules.

Daniel thought revenge would be enough.
Lena thought love would be the safe choice.
Both of them are wrong.

Mine is a dark, psychological romance about control, identity, and what it means to choose yourself when love is no longer a fantasy, but the most dangerous risk you can take.

My husband sees me as a trophy.
My lover wants to destroy me, or save me.

My name is Lena Monroe. I have spent seven years playing a role. Perfect wife, invisible woman. Everything changes the day Dr. Daniel Carter, Geneva’s golden neurosurgeon turned outcast, decides to make me his revenge.

He wants me. He wants to break me, own me, watch me lose it all. Until he’s the one losing control.

In Geneva, vengeance is a power play. Masks fall, secrets explode, and every choice could burn you alive.

Are you ready to find out how far obsession will take you?
Psychological dark romance, explicit, dangerous, and not for the faint of heart.

I don’t lose. Not even when the world falls apart.

I was Geneva’s golden surgeon, until one mistake destroyed everything. Now I want revenge. Nothing is more satisfying than seducing the wife of the man who ruined me.

Lena Monroe was supposed to be just a pawn. But she burns with a dangerous fire, one that could consume everything, even me.

I want to own her, break her, keep her. But in this game, I might be the one who loses it all.

In Geneva, vengeance is a survival sport. How far would you go to destroy, or to love?
A dark, psychological romance, explicit, intense, and seriously addictive.

Lena spent years fading behind someone else’s spotlight. Quiet. Dutiful. Dying in silence. But beneath the surface? A woman with desires no one ever dared to touch. Until him.

He built his life on precision until one mistake shattered it all. Now he wants revenge. But what he finds instead is Lena… and she might just ruin the last piece of him that’s still intact.
