Love 2 by Rosalie Crank

Sally Robinson has only loved once Joey.
Since then, she’s built her life around control. Quiet routines. Careful boundaries. A refusal to let feeling turn into freefall. She’s seen what happens when love goes too deep. Her mother never came back from it.
When a man, she’s only met a handful of times starts paying attention, Sally doesn’t recognize the warning signs—only the familiarity. The way being seen feels like oxygen. The way intensity feels like connection.
At first, it’s subtle. Almost kind. Then the coincidences sharpen, the attention lingers, and attraction begins to twist into something darker.
Sally has spent years choosing safe.
But safe has never felt like living.
Pulled toward a love that promises depth instead of peace, devotion instead of protection, Sally must confront the most dangerous truth of all, you don’t have to be naïve to fall into something toxic, you just have to be lonely.
Dark, seductive, and psychologically charged, Love 2 the Toxic Love is a slow-burn romance thriller about obsession, power, and how easily grief can disguise itself as destiny.
