Book Three of the Obsession, Lies, and Deviancy

series of stories produced by WWA-Imprint.

Obsession, Lies, and Deviancy is a dark exploration of human nature—where obsession festers, secrets demand light, and desire teeters on the edge of corruption. Across these stories, lives unravel, morality bends, and the wicked, too, crave romance.

Murder stains the pages. Obsessions buried deep refuse to stay hidden. Some are exposed, undone, while others surrender, willingly seduced not just by passion, but by the power of secrecy itself.

Provocative, unapologetic, and impossible to forget—this collection asks: What happens when restraint shatters, and our most forbidden urges take control?
