A Dark BWWM Time Travel Psychological Thriller Romance

By: Kristi Nemela

He stole her life’s work. She stole his future. But in a cage outside of time, the ultimate captivity is surrender.

Dr. Imani Booker was erased. When the ruthless Hayes International corporation seized her groundbreaking temporal equations, they left the brilliant physicist with nothing but a footnote. But Imani didn't just build a time machine—she built a prison. Deep beneath the permafrost, in a luxury bunker disconnected from linear time, she has trapped the man who signed her life away: billionaire corporate heir Declan Hayes.

Her revenge is absolute. Anchored to a biometric temporal tether, Imani controls every second of Declan's existence. If he fights, she resets the day. If he escapes, she rewinds the clock. She expects him to break. She expects him to submit.

But Declan Hayes is a predator born to conquer. Stripped of his wealth and his boardroom empire, he discovers a darker, more primitive power. He doesn't need to break the time machine to win; he just needs to master the woman controlling it. As the days blur into a psychological war of wills, the lines between captor and captive shatter. Declan weaponizes his dominance, turning Imani’s obsessive, manic devotion into a leash of his own making.

Trapped in a closed system where death is only a reset away, their mutual hatred ignites into a volatile, all-consuming obsession. But when the outside world finally breaches their sanctuary, Declan and Imani must decide if they are willing to burn down time itself to protect the dark kingdom they've built together.

Timebound is a gripping, high-stakes psychological thriller and dark romance. Packed with intense power exchange, forced proximity, and mind-bending sci-fi suspense, this novel plunges into the deepest, darkest depths of devotion.
