In this not-your-typical stalker romance, Vallyn Spencer has everything going for her-or so it seems.

As a dedicated grad student & teaching assistant on the verge of earning her doctorate, she has a loving family & a supportive group of friends. Vallyn's life appears picture-perfect for someone immersed in academia.

But when an enigmatic admirer begins sending gifts & captivating her with unsettling texts & calls, her carefully ordered world takes an unexpected turn. His actions blur the line between alarming and irresistibly intriguing, drawing her into a web of tension & desire. Just as she begins to let her guard down, events spiral out of control, leading them both into a collision course with devastating consequences.

In this haunting, suspenseful, and spicy story, Vallyn and her mysterious "phantom" are thrust into an unnerving battle of trust & survival. The book ends in a partial resolution, setting the stage for a gripping continuation of their electrifying journey.

Review Quotes

"Vallyn in Chains challenges the typical stalker romance, slow burn genre by providing an emotionally intelligent and introspective main male character, where many times this is missing from these books. I think this addition added to the development of the relationship but also quality of the dialogue and banter."

"Such a good book. Stalker romance, morally grey, almost like a found family situation. Lots of ups and downs moments where normally you'd be like wtf be smarter than that woman. I feel like it gives more of realistic expectations of how things would go in the world."

"This book was fantastic. This dark stalker romance has my heart in a twist. It's like a better version of Haunting Adeline. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes dark romance. The Phantom is the best crazy book boyfriend I have ever seen. The story keeps in invested and wanting more I am excited to read the second book"

"From the first chapter I was hooked! I couldn't put it down! The characters will win you over and you just can't get enough of their love story! The unexpected plot twist took me by surprise and was dark! I loved every minute of this book!!!"

"This one was tough. So incredibly written. You will fall in love with the characters and be so flabbergasted how dark it gets! I wouldn't change a thing! You guys are in for a wild ride!!"

"I was hooked on this book from the start. Maelana did an amazing job making you fall in love with both the MMC and FMC."

"I stayed up late so I can finish this book in one night. Because it sucked me in. In less than 24 hours this book has consumed me. Not only did I read and love this, I preordered it on Amazon, because I need this in my collection. This was dark and everything I hoped it would be."
