OBTAINED

Alexandria Marshall lives with gaps in her memory and the feeling that something in her past is missing. As Jules and Felix pull her in different directions, trust becomes harder and answers more urgent.
Series background & context
Obtained sits closer to romantic suspense than straight contemporary romance. At the center is Alexandria Marshall, a young woman living with missing pieces in her memory and the quiet sense that something important about her past is still out of reach.
She is trying to hold on to a normal life, but the story keeps tugging her toward questions she cannot answer. Two men intensify that pull in very different ways. Jules Maddox brings loyalty, warmth, and a fierce desire to protect her. Felix brings tension, uncertainty, and the feeling that there is more going on than anyone wants to say out loud.
That is the real engine of the book.
The triangle matters, but the larger draw is the mystery around Alexandria herself. Her memories are unreliable, motives are not always clear, and even quieter scenes carry a low hum of unease because she never fully has the whole picture. The book keeps balancing attraction with suspicion, which gives it a moodier edge than a simple love story.
So if you come to this page expecting a light romance, Obtained is a little twistier than that. It is built around secrets, trust, and the slow work of piecing together a life that does not quite make sense yet. Readers who like emotional tension with a mystery thread running underneath will probably feel at home here.
