By LJ Langdale
MINE... is the continuation of a dark academia romance that explores what happens when surrender evolves into something far more dangerous: the demand to belong.

Content considerations: This book contains explicit sexual content within an evolving D/s dynamic, extended denial and edging, psychological dominance and submission, discussions of past manipulation and emotional damage, references to childhood abuse and trauma, PTSD, and escalating external threats within an academic setting. The relationship between the main characters deepens against a backdrop of surveillance, professional danger, and secrets that demand to be told. This is a dark romance with mature themes intended for adult readers.
MINE... asks what happens after surrender—when you've given someone the power to see you, and now you have to show them who you were before. It's a story about two people learning that belonging to someone isn't about possession, but about being brave enough to say this is what I've done, and I'm asking you to want me anyway.
Because claiming isn't taking. Belonging isn't weakness. And sometimes, demanding to be someone's is braver than waiting to be chosen.
When the walls start falling, what's left is either ruin or foundation. The only way to find out is to stay.

"If you love stories that are spicy, emotionally rich, and unapologetically intense—where dominance meets devotion and surrender becomes its own kind of power—Sir… is a must-read. LJ Langdale delivers a seductive, empowering, and unforgettable experience that will leave you wanting to kneel… and beg for the next page. 🔥📖"

"I binged this book in 6 hours, that hasn’t happened in a long time. I loved Lydia in the book, I resonated with her straight away. It’s extremely well written. I believe her trauma was managed in the book and not resolved which could possibly leave an opening for book 2 🙏🙏."
Katherine Black, Author
"This is a cut-above, and the author knows what he’s doing. The prose is self-assured, and the psychological and academic elements come from a specialist knowledge base. Everything is described in beautiful detail, and small touches like the metronome in the professor's office set the style and tension."
