Jumia Books Wanted: Dark Romance Novella Author: Lauren Biel

Wanted by Lauren Biel is a gripping dark romance novella that plunges readers into the shadowy depths of obsession, guilt, and forbidden desire. With the chilling phrase “What have I done” echoing across its cover, the story hints at a past mistake that spirals into a dangerous entanglement—one that blurs the lines between victim and villain, love and fear.

Set against the backdrop of a home invasion, the novella explores the psychological unraveling of its central character, whose choices ignite a chain of events that cannot be undone. Broken glass, wilting flowers, and a magnetism that defies logic—all serve as metaphors for the emotional wreckage and raw intensity that define this tale.

Lauren Biel’s signature style blends poetic darkness with visceral tension, crafting a narrative that is both seductive and unsettling. Wanted is ideal for readers who crave morally grey characters, high-stakes intimacy, and stories that linger long after the final page.
