The Archivist
Every thought is a move. Every smile a snare.
Adam Sinclair is the kind of man who makes you feel seen—until you realize he’s been watching you all along. Charming, intelligent, and disarmingly attentive, he’s also a master manipulator who collects secrets like currency and uses them with surgical precision. To Adam, people are pieces on a board, and he’s already planned the checkmate before they know they’re playing.
Cyra never intended to cross his path. She’s already piecing herself together after a lifetime of emotional bruises, determined to keep her footing. But one act of kindness draws her into Adam’s orbit, and what begins as connection slowly twists into control. He knows exactly which wounds to press, which dreams to feed, and which fears to exploit.
As the walls close in, Cyra isn’t the only one caught in Adam’s game. Friends, lovers, and strangers become pawns in a high-stakes match where loyalty is fragile and betrayal inevitable. The deeper the entanglement, the more dangerous the truths he hides—especially the ones buried in his past.
In The Archivist, nothing is as it seems. Narratives shift, reality warps, and every revelation forces you to question who—and what—you can trust. This is not just a story about a predator and his prey. It’s about the quiet moments where control slips, the dangerous comfort of familiarity, and the razor-thin line between protection and possession.
Step inside Adam’s meticulously crafted world—where love is a lure, power is the prize, and the fall is always harder than the start.
