Synopsis

Hooked is a dark, contemporary romance that reimagines the classic Peter Pan tale from the perspective of the villain. James “Hook” is a powerful, calculating man driven by revenge against his longtime enemy. When he meets Wendy—innocent, loyal, and far more perceptive than he expects—his carefully controlled plans begin to unravel. What starts as manipulation soon turns into an intense and dangerous attraction, blurring the line between vengeance and desire. Set against a backdrop of secrets, power struggles, and moral ambiguity, the story explores obsession, control, and the thin boundary between villain and hero.
