He sees you while you’re sleeping — Alia Hensley

It’s the night before Christmas, and influencer Chloe Hallman is home alone… or so she thinks.

By day, she’s the picture of cozy holiday perfection—a sparkling jewelry creator with a million followers. But when the cameras turn off, Chloe slips into a secret online persona, where fantasy and desire glitter brighter than any diamond. Enter Jack, the dangerously devoted fireman next door, who’s been keeping more than just a watchful eye on her.

He knows her secrets. He knows her scars. And he’s been waiting for the perfect moment to make her his Christmas wish come true.

He Sees You When You’re Sleeping is a dark, steamy stalker romance that mixes mistletoe with menace, firelight with obsession, and just the right amount of heat to melt the snow. Naughty or nice? Why not both.

🌶️ Spice Level: 5/5 — obsession, control, and heat hotter than a five-alarm fire.

🌙 Nocturnal by Clio Evans

Set within the shadowed corridors of St. Thorns University, Nocturnal is a dark academia monster romance that blurs the line between obsession and desire, intellect and instinct 🌒

Nora Woulfe is a psychology professor who arrives at St. Thorns expecting a fresh start—and instead encounters something deeply unsettling. Alec Briar, a reclusive botanist with a preference for solitude and his greenhouse, possesses a presence that is both magnetic and dangerous. There is something fractured within him, something he is desperate not to uncover.

When a monster begins stalking Nora, their uneasy connection twists into something darker and more consuming. Secrets surface, boundaries erode, and the line between protection and possession begins to blur. Nora believes the only way to save Alec may be to break him—no matter the personal cost 🔥

From Alec’s perspective, Nora becomes an obsession he cannot escape. As danger closes in, he is willing to hunt whatever threatens her, even if it means using her as bait. Love, violence, and devotion become indistinguishable as both are pulled toward inevitable ruin.

Inspired by Dr. Jekyll and Hyde, Nocturnal is a standalone novel set in Clio Evans’s Freaks of Nature universe. Featuring a monster botanist MMC, a 33-year-old FMC psychologist, and intense psychological and romantic tension, this book is ideal for readers who enjoy dark academia, morally gray characters, and unapologetically spicy romance 🌹🕯️
