Possessing Her: A Dark Stalker Romance

In Christina Lauren's touching and romantic novel Love and Other Words, childhood sweethearts reconnect by chance after a decade apart in New York Times bestselling author's story...The question remains: how many words will it take for them to unravel where everything went wrong?

The tale of the heart cannot be erased. Macy Sorensen is settling into a busy yet emotionally distant routine: working hard as a new pediatrics resident, planning her marriage to an older, financially stable man, keeping her emotions in check and her heart guarded. However, when she unexpectedly encounters Elliot Petropoulos—the love of her life—her carefully constructed facade begins to crumble.

Elliot was once Macy's entire world—transitioning from a nerdy, awkward friend to the man who healed her broken heart after the loss of her mother...only to shatter it on the night he professed his love for her. The story unfolds in alternating timelines between Then and Now, as teenage Elliot and Macy evolve from friends to something more—spending weekends and summers together in a house outside San Francisco, bonding over books, exchanging favorite words, and navigating through their challenges and successes.

As adults, they have drifted apart, but their unexpected reunion brings them back together. Despite the painful memories from that fateful night years ago, Elliot will uncover the reasons behind Macy's silence over the past decade. He must confront his own past and demons to reignite Macy's belief in a love that consumes everything.
