Love Marks

Love Marks is a Dark Paranormal Romantic Suspense story.
She was supposed to be off-limits. That made her his.
She is broken, never fitting in.
Alicia "Tink" Bell spent her life being told she's too much-too sensitive, too strange, too wrong. Medicated into something manageable, she's learned to survive by following the rules, not her intuition. And certainly not any voices she hears in her head.
Until one day everything fractures.
A chance encounter with Rodney Lawrence-a ruthless, controlled, and dangerously powerful man-sets off a chain reaction neither of them can stop. When Alicia runs, the world comes hunting: her friends, her past, and something far more dangerous lurking beneath it all.
But the deeper she goes, the more reality itself begins to shift.
The forest speaks. Threads connect. Truth bleeds through the cracks.
And when Rodney finds her, the bond between them ignites-primal, consuming, undeniable.
Now they're marked.
Hunted by enemies.
Claimed by something ancient.
Pulled into a truth that rewrites everything Alicia thought she knew about herself... and what she is.
Because love isn't just a feeling.
It's a force.
A mark.
A destiny you can't outrun.
