The Keeper: A Dark Sapphic Obsession Romance (Dark Sapphic Obsessions Book 3)

Forty thousand people watch Elia live. One of them just wrote: you're not safe. He knows her address. Her routine. The lock she never sets. The police can't help. The algorithm can't save her. There is only one person left who can — and officially, she doesn't exist. They call her the Keeper. No name. No past. No trail. For twenty years she has guarded women the world forgot to protect, then slipped away before morning. She doesn't touch. She doesn't stay. Men who cross her charges have a way of vanishing from the record. Io custodisco, non prendo. I guard. I do not take. Elia signs the contract anyway — safety in exchange for trust, the Keeper's rules in exchange for her life. She lets the stranger into her home, her stream, her bed. But Elia does what no charge has ever done: she looks at the Keeper and wants to be seen back. She wants the name. She wants the woman behind the shadow. The stalker is closing in. The machine that made the Keeper is waking up. And every rule she has lived by is about to break — because the only thing more dangerous than being hunted is being loved by the woman who guards you. One word can stop it all: offline. One promise can end it: you stay, and I keep you. Standalone. Dual POV. No cliffhanger. Content note: stalking and harassment (central theme, on-page), violence and blood, gun violence, murder (including off-page past), psychological manipulation, trauma and PTSD, explicit sexual content, consensual power dynamics with an established safe word, references to a secondary character's off-page traumatic past.
