Do you want this?I can still picture him perfectly, the way he looked on the day he kidnapped me. It was already early evening, and his dark eyes shimmered in the light of the setting sun. Sparks danced within them like tiny will-o’-the-wisps from an enchanted world, seeming to promise secrets, maybe even adventures. Back then, I wanted both.
How else could I have been so deaf and blind to all the warning signals? The glances over his shoulder to check whether the backpackers had gone inside yet, the laughter that echoed through the silence a shade too loudly. I didn’t notice, or didn’t want to. All I heard were the silent questions behind that shimmer in his eyes.
Do you want this.
It could have meant anything.
Do you want to come with me?
Do you want to sleep with me?
Do you want me to kidnap you?
I've always hated Ash Springs more than anything. It's a tiny town in the Nevada desert, and all I've ever dreamed of is escaping to find excitement and adventure. During a camping trip to Sequoia National Park with my four brothers, I meet the mysterious Brendan. Little do I know, my life is about to take a dramatic turn—it turns out, this meeting isn't a chance encounter at all for Brendan. He has meticulously planned every step of my abduction. Suddenly, he whisks me away to the Canadian wilderness, a vast expanse of spruce trees and blue sky, where only wolves and ermines roam. Brendan tells me I am the light in his darkness. As days turn into weeks, I am forced to confront not just my own desperate terror, but also Brendan's traumatic past. Gradually, he becomes more than just my captor. I am thrown into a maelstrom of conflicting emotions—sympathy, need, and even... love? Can I actually love my kidnapper? And just how dangerous is Brendan, really?
“A fascinating mixture of dark romance, crime thriller, and coming-of-age story, highly atmospheric and full of ominous intensity [���]. Trapped: Until you love me is about kidnapping, stalking, and love, but above all, it is an authentic psychological exploration of the grey areas between strength and weakness, between good and evil.” (Petra Ottkowski, creative writing professor)
Heart-pounding and forbidden: Dive deeper into this haunting dark romance where intense, thrilling emotions clash and blur the lines between captor and lover.
