A danger she can’t escape, a love he didn’t choose.
Fox lost everything—and now he wants revenge. Willow is the collateral damage who is tangled up with the wrong man. He watches her. Hunts her. Plays with her. And when their two worlds collide, they’re pulled into a deadly game— a game of secrets, obsession, and forbidden desire. In Fox’s world, nothing is safe. And loving him could cost them both everything.
Excerpt:
The strong smell of her frangipani diffuser hit me, even through my ski mask.
I looked over at the Little Bird, passed out cold.
Judging by the empty shot glass next to her bed she must have washed that Valium down with the Grey Goose that sits in her freezer.
Yeah, I got in her head and I fucking loved it.
I don’t know why I was here, watching her. Maybe I really was a bad man.
I picked up random objects from her dresser, inspecting them before putting them back down. A photo of her and Leo sat in the center and blowing out a sigh, I placed the photo face down.
Standing at her bedside, I watched her as she slept peacefully, surprising, considering the little game I had played earlier that night. She wasn’t tossing and turning like she usually did, but I guess a cocktail of vodka and sleeping pills does the job well, knocking out a tiny bird like her.
Her brown curls were spread over her pillow and I gently leaned down, smelling her fruity shampoo.
Yeah, I was a total creep.
Ever so gently, I traced my gloved hands over her full lips and down her arm. Her nipples were hard, peaking through her cotton shirt, and I felt myself harden as I touched them softly, a jolt of electricity running through my body.
I looked back to her face.
Nothing. She was dead to it.
That was the first time I’d been confident she was sleeping heavy enough to touch her. Usually, she would thrash around so much it wasn’t worth the risk.
My fingers feathered down the side of her body, gently lifting the bottom of her shirt and running them over her smooth stomach. I touched the crease of her ass cheeks that hung out of the bottom of her tiny shorts before smoothing my hand down her leg.
I looked at her again as she softly moaned in her sleep.
My cock was straining painfully against my jeans, and I took it as my cue to leave her.
I watched for a little bit longer, before I left her to her dreams, or her nightmares.
It was hard to leave. I felt as though I was tethered to her.
It had been a long time since I’d touched someone like that.
I didn’t feel anything though, only emptiness.
Because I’d enjoyed seeing her like that, and it once again confirmed that I really was a bad man.
Maybe having a heart as black as mine wasn’t always the worst thing in the world.
Because having a heart as black as mine meant it would be easier if I had to slit her throat.
This is the first story in the "Twisted Love" duology so be prepared it does end in a cliffhanger. It definitely leaves you wanting the next story to see what was going to happen with her going "home". This is a dark story, so there might be possible triggers. The story is a slow burn, enemies to more, with some twists. It is the beginning of Willow and Fox's story. What a story it is! The plot development is intriguing and interesting with some suspense, some action, trauma, danger and a bit more. I cannot wait for the next story. This is a new author to me and I look forward to reading more.

Some games are more dangerous than others and this one could be deadly. They have to work together if they are going to survive

Book One Definitely Off to a Great Start
Written by Andrea R on 26th Jul 2026
This is a sort of slow burn book and does kind of leave you hanging sense it is going to be part one of 2 but it definitely nailed on all levels--really a well written great read.

Love
Written by MissVAformer on 26th Jul 2026
This story had me at page one. It’s er0tic, twisty and suspenseful in the best ways. This couple’s romantic tension is like magic. It’s a great dark romance that I would recommend.
5/5
Great Book
Written by Jeanne R on 26th Jul 2026
This is the first book I've read written by Amelia Jaye; I can’t wait to read more of her books.
This is the first book in the Twisted Love Series; it is a stand-alone book. The story is about Willow & Fox.

We have action, suspense, and more in this story. This is Willow and Fox's story. Follow the drama that follows with him hunting her? Can they survive the games or not?

Fox & Willow
Written by Danee on 26th Jul 2026
A delightful story with 2 tropes. I found it to be a slow burn and a lovers-to-enemies story. Fox and Willow hold your attention from the start. Their story has plenty of steam, zest, and passion, with some wonderfully dark moments. I think it's a good start to a new series by the author; there is a cliffhanger, but that shouldn't spoil the fun, and I eagerly await the sequel.
5/5
Wonderfully dark
Written by DBG69 on 26th Jul 2026
I love a good dark romance and this one fit the bill. The storyline is engaging and I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what was going to happen next. A definite page turner of a book. Great character building. I wasn't expecting a cliff hanger but now I need the next book! Soon!

FOX AND WILLOW
Written by Gkp2460 on 26th Jul 2026
Those Wicked Games is my first read by this author and definitely won't be my last. First off, it's book 1 in the Twisted Love duet and ends on one heckuva cliffhanger. And, make sure you check the trigger warnings. There's several topics that may sensitive to some readers so make aware of that. Now on to the good stuff! This is Fox and Willow's fantastic, slow burn, enemies to lovers journey. It's a book I easily fell into and completely enjoyed from to finish. I can't wait for book 2!
5/5
Those Wicked Games - Kudos to the debut
Written by Avidreader23 on 26th Jul 2026
Liked it!
It is Amelia Jaye’s dark debut and she did a great job! Kudos!
Keep a eye on your watch. This is a book where one more page becomes “where did the whole evening go?"
Tropes: enemies to lovers, kidnapping, slow burn (slower than usual but I personally enjoy it), dark romance, stalker, cliffhanger.
It ends in cliffhanger and looking forward to continuing the story
Willow is originally with her boyfriend Leo of 5 years - who owns a successful security firm - oh the irony
It is not a happy relationship, he honestly gives me the creeps.
Fox is keeping a close eye on the couple and originally considers Willow collateral damage - that changes quickly.
The plot is well thought and unpredictable. Perfectly paced.
The world is well built and layered, believable, you can immerse yourself in it.
Obviously, recommended
4/5
Those Wicked Games

⭐️⭐️Read the Trigger Warning⭐️⭐️
This is book 1 Of a duology. Willow and Fix begin as enemies and slowly transition to lovers. It is a slow burn. Although this book has darker themes it doesn’t completely go over to the darker side. Prepare yourself for the ending. This really is an excellent read and I am looking forward to book two.
5/5
So good
Written by Ssirren on 26th Jul 2026
I devoured Willow and Fox’s story. This was a perfectly written slow burn enemies to lovers story. These two were so hot, so spicy, I thought I was going to get burned. This was a dark romance with a lot of suspense that kept me intrigued and wanting more. And with wanting more, means there is a cliffhanger in this and I’m impatiently waiting for the second book. This one was absolutely amazing and I loved every minute of it.
4/5
Those Wicked Games
Written by Kristy M on 26th Jul 2026
This is the first book I've read by this author. This is book 1 of a duology which means book 1 ends on a major cliffy. This isn't actually mentioned anywhere, but some will know when you have a duology it means a cliffy. It is in dual POV with as well as their past POV. There is a list of TWs for this book, so be sure to check them out. I'd say book 1 is a touch of a dark romance, but nothing super heavy. I really enjoyed reading this, and hope book 2 will be out soon.
5/5
Revenge obsession romantic suspense
Written by itsthejo on 26th Jul 2026
Book 1 of Twisted Love. And a FANtastic start it is! Look forward to more from this world.
'In Fox’s world, nothing is safe.
And loving him could cost them both everything.'
The characters were very complex and compelling and complicated and absolutely perfect together. Plot was intriguing and intense and exciting and well paced. World building was excellent and solidly drawn. Thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend.
Grab a copy, kick back and enjoy!
