The Pull
Falling for him was easy. Escaping him was harder. Twenty-two-year-old Nora isn't looking for love, she's looking for control. After a life of careful boundaries and emotional armor, the last thing she expects is to be drawn to Austin, a guarded, magnetic stranger with a darkness behind his eyes and a silence that speaks louder than words. Their connection is instant. Addictive. Dangerous. The deeper Nora is pulled into Austin's orbit, the harder it becomes to tell the difference between passion and possession. As his secrets begin to unravel mysterious disappearances, shady connections, and a past he refuses to name Nora starts to lose herself in the chaos. She lies to her friends. She misses work. She stops recognizing the girl in the mirror. She's not afraid of him. She's afraid of who she becomes when she's with him. Torn between desire and survival, Nora must face a devastating truth: some people aren't meant to be saved. And some love stories aren't meant to last they're meant to teach you what you deserve. The Pull is a raw, emotionally intense exploration of toxic love, emotional trauma, and the complicated power of walking away. Gritty, intimate, and hauntingly honest, this story doesn't offer a perfect romance it offers a real one.
