It was reckless. No names. No strings. A night I've dreamed about ever since. Now my fantasy lives next door.
He's chaos wrapped in ink and a dangerous smile. He's loud when I need silence. Reckless when I crave control. He calls me wildflower like it's a dare.
I swore I'd never let another man have power over me. Gabe doesn't want power. He wants me.
But the man I ran from just found my new address.

Meet the Author
Hey Babe, I'm Elodie. 💋
I write the kind of books that make you miss your subway stop, stay up way past bedtime, and text your group chat at 2 AM with "I just finished chapter 14 and I need someone to SCREAM with."
My heroes are protective, possessive, and a little bit unhinged in the best possible way. My heroines? They don't need saving — but they might let the right man try. Every book comes with spicy heat, sharp banter, and feelings that hit you like a freight train.
When I'm not writing scenes that require a cold glass of water, you'll find me plotting my next series, hoarding bookish candles, and reminding my readers that love should feel like an adventure — not a compromise.
I believe in happily-ever-afters that are earned, chemistry that crackles off the page, and heroines who own every room they walk into.
xoxo, Elodie

FAQ
Steamy contemporary romance with protective heroes, fierce heroines, and guaranteed happily-ever-afters. Signature tropes include enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, fake relationships, surprise pregnancy, and brother's best friend. Heat level: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ — open door, explicit, and unapologetic. If you like your heroes possessive and your heroines unstoppable, you're in the right place.
Nope! Both the Protectors Next Door and Men of Mill Creek series are interconnected standalones. Each book is a complete love story with its own couple and HEA. Characters from other books may make cameo appearances, but you'll never be lost jumping in anywhere. That said, reading in order gives you the full world-building experience and the most Easter eggs.
Some books contain themes of stalking, domestic violence (past), and on-page danger/suspense in addition to explicit sexual content. Specific content warnings are listed at the front of each book. If you have specific triggers you'd like to ask about before reading, feel free to reach out — I'm happy to help you find the right book for you.
Two ways! Claimed By My Dark Protector is available as a free download when you join the SIZZLE newsletter — just click the "Get Your Free Book" button at the top of this page. Un Social is also available for free through BookFunnel. Both are standalone novellas — complete stories, not teasers.
