Twisted Love

Twisted Love is a dark contemporary romance about Ava Chen, a warm, hopeful photography student haunted by nightmares from a childhood she cannot remember, and Alex Volkov, her brother’s brilliant, ruthless best friend. When Ava’s brother leaves the country and asks Alex to watch over her, the arrangement begins as reluctant protection and turns into a dangerous emotional collision.

Alex is controlled, wealthy, and consumed by revenge for the murder of his family. Ava is gentle but stubborn, determined to find beauty in the world even after betrayal and fear. As they grow closer, their chemistry becomes impossible to ignore—but so do the lies Alex has built his life around.
