Nobody Came Looking: A Love Story
With no Redemption, no Rescue and a Cage that Rachel Locks from the Inside.
She disappeared from a rave. One text. Six hours late.
‘hey did u leave early? lol’
She never went home.
Rachel Santos has been invisible her entire life—the middle daughter, the forgotten friend, the girl the world skips over. When two strangers pull her from a crowd and a third feeds her breakfast like she matters, she doesn't fight it. She sinks.
Into their loft. Into their beds. Into a world where she's photographed like a masterpiece, marked like territory, and fed like something precious. Three men, three kinds of hunger, and Rachel—starving, invisible Rachel—finally full.
By the time the worship becomes a cage and her body becomes a spectacle, there's no outside left. Just a girl who was so hungry to be seen that she let them devour her, and a lock she turns herself.
Nobody Came Looking: A Love Story is a darkly seductive, psychologically devastating debut about what happens when being wanted is the most dangerous thing that's ever happened to you.
For readers of: dark romance with actual teeth, literary horror that crawls under your skin, and love stories you'll need to shower after.
Content warning: This novel contains graphic sexual content, sexual assault, drugging, psychological manipulation, coercive control, and themes of self-erasure. It is not a redemption story.
I even made a theme song for this. Just to get you into the mood.

Welcome to Nobody Came Looking, a darkly sedu
ctive descent into the kind of love story that locks the door behind you.
Not a rescue.
Not a redemption.
A girl so invisible she vanished from a rave and got one text about it — six hours late, ending in lol — and the three men who carried her home and made her the center of everything she’d been starving for.
Due to the explicit and psychologically devastating nature of Nobody Came Looking, this will not be a free serialized novel. It will be available to premium subscribers. However, for those premium subscribers, I plan on putting future serializations on Substack first before Kindle or KU — meaning ALL future publications, from Nobody Came Looking to Letters Between Sex and Violence vol. 4, will be accessible to premium subscribers.
Not only that, but check out the following perks!

Without further ado…
Three men. One loft. A girl who’d rather drown in warm water than die of thirst in the cold.
