Sleep Behind The Stage Door

He left a stage door unlocked for seventy-seven nights. Not because he believed in fate, but because he believed she would eventually have nowhere else to go.

Leander Crossley owns the Ardent Theater, a forgotten palace of velvet, dust, and secrets. Everything in his life is measured, controlled, and carefully calculated—until Harlow Dean enters it.

Once a rising singer-songwriter, Harlow has lost everything. Her career has been destroyed, a powerful man refuses to let her disappear, and every safe place has vanished. When one unlocked stage door offers her shelter, she accepts a contract unlike anything she has ever imagined.

Ninety days. A private residency. One impossible rule: from sunset until dawn, she must remain inside the theater.

The agreement promises safety, but the man behind it remains an enigma. Quiet. Obsessive. Impossible to read. As the walls of the Ardent become both sanctuary and prison, the line between protection and possession begins to disappear.

Because some men don't chase the woman they love.

They build a place where the world can no longer reach her... and quietly wait for her to step inside.

Sleep Behind the Stage Door is a slow-burn Dark Romance featuring an obsessive morally gray hero, forced proximity, psychological tension, explicit spice, emotional obsession, and a love story where safety may be the most dangerous temptation of all.
