BECAUSE FATE WON’T LET YOU HIDE FOREVER.
Forbidden Passions
She was invisible until someone saw the woman she forgot.
Now there’s no going back.

One look.
One touch.
One dangerous choice.
Lena Monroe had perfected invisibility:
mother, wife, quietly disappearing day by day, convinced she’d missed her chance at more.
But fate doesn’t wait forever.
One rainy afternoon, a reckless accident throws Lena straight into Dr. Daniel Carter’s path—and suddenly invisibility isn’t an option anymore.
Daniel doesn’t just notice Lena, he ignites her.
He sees the dreams she lost, the desires she buried beneath family dinners and forgotten promises.
Now Lena knows her accidental collision wasn’t coincidence—it was fate, ruthless and irresistible, demanding she finally choose herself.
But waking up comes with a price:
Guilt. Risk. Freedom.
And Lena’s ready to pay them all.
“He taught me I deserved more. I taught him what more really meant.”
– Lena Monroe
“She didn’t just look at me—She broke through every wall I’d built.” –
Dr. Daniel Carter

DARK PASSION – A series of ruthless, red‑hot love stories by Carina Rhyden Cross
Love doesn’t always heal; sometimes it chains, burns, and remakes.
Each Dark Passion novel is a complete, standalone romance set in the same universe of power play, psychological stakes, and scorching‑hot consent. Every heroine begins in the ashes—buried by guilt, silence, or expectation—until one dangerously devoted man strikes the match that sets her free. Expect high‑voltage chemistry, raw emotion, and explicit BDSM elements rooted in trust, after‑care, and very adult choices.
Trigger‑aware: intense themes, consensual power exchange, and happy‑ever‑afters that come with scorch marks.
