Twisted Love
Ana Huang, 2021
A cold, controlled man and the woman he swears to protect collide in a dark romance where devotion looks like possession. A tense, heady romance that moves fast, with a cold, controlled voice and a current of longing under the power games.
Feels like longing and serenity. About love and power.
Who it’s for

Why read it
It gives you a charged, dramatic romance about how far devotion can go, with restraint and longing pulling against each other.
A page from the book
The hardest sacrifice might not be death.
Love.” The word floated between us on a soft gust of air. “Deep, abiding, unconditional love. You want it so much you’re willing to live for it.” Most people thought the biggest sacrifice they could make was to die for something. They were wrong. The biggest sacrifice someone could make was to live for something—to allow it to consume you and turn you into a version of yourself you didn’t recognize. Death was oblivion; life was reality, the harshest truth that had ever existed. Ana Huang.Ana Huang self-published Twisted Love in 2021; the Twisted series later became a BookTok staple and a New York Times bestseller.

An oath that refuses to end at any distance.
Our love is stronger than time, greater than any distance. Our love spans across stars and worlds. I will find you again, I promise.
House of Sky and Breath · Sarah J. Maas
The loneliest thing anyone can say is that they stayed.
Why won’t you leave me alone?” I whispered one night as he hovered behind me while I tried to work at my desk. Long minutes passed. I didn’t think he would answer. I even had time to hope he might have gone, until I felt his hand on my shoulder. “Then I’d be alone, too," he said, and he stayed the whole night through, till the lamps burned down to nothing.
Siege and Storm · Leigh Bardugo
What it sounds like when someone finally offers you a place to fall apart.
Shh.” I run a hand down the length of her curls, feeling a hiccup jostle her body. “You did the right thing. Run to me. Always run to me.
