Devious Obsession

If you’ve ever wondered what happens when a bully romance refuses to blink first, this is it. Steele O’Brien is Crown Point University’s fiercest defenseman—an enforcer with a past that made him colder than the rink. Aspen Monroe is the transfer student who collides with him at a summer lake house party, sparks a dangerous game, and later discovers their parents have just married. Overnight she becomes the stepsister he’s been obsessing over—and the reluctant spy his father recruited to report on his son.

What follows is a chain reaction of humiliation, obsession, and retaliation: doxxing and rumors, middle-of-the-night break‑ins, public dares, a weaponized jersey, and an away-game trip where real families, real danger, and real feelings break through the act. When Aspen’s past finds her and Steele’s worst instincts turn protective, their war turns into a partnership against a very real threat. The result is a dark, jagged love story that chooses each other—loudly, publicly, and forever.

This 30‑minute narrative script keeps the beats tight and the emotions raw. We trace a line from that first charged look in a crowded basement all the way to a ring, a piano audition, and a tattoo needle. It’s not pretty. It’s not safe. But it’s honest about trauma, power, and how two broken people make a home in each other.

S. Massery writes dark, high‑heat romances where morally gray characters crash into each other and figure it out the hard way. A Western Massachusetts native and devoted dog mom, she has worked everywhere from Boston to a Wyoming dude ranch, and she fuels her pages with coffee, chocolate, and a love of messy, redemptive stories. When she isn’t writing, she’s reading, hiking with Alice, or hanging out with her reader community.
