The Nightmare Collection

In The Nightmare Collection, love is not soft or safe. It bends time. It disturbs the past. It fractures identity. A grieving professor refuses to accept fate—and will rewrite time itself for the woman he cannot lose. A neighbor’s confession of obsession pulls a woman into a dangerous story that may not be finished. An archaeologist falls for the only man standing between her and the buried truth of her ancestors. These are stories of devotion under pressure.

It feels unfinished.

Denise Walker never meant to fall for her physics professor. Markos Nadir is brilliant, intense, and strangely familiar. He speaks of space-time as though it’s fragile—bendable. Reversible.

Stronger than coincidence. He understands her grief. Her father’s depression. The loneliness she never speaks aloud.
