The Manipulator

I can manipulate the emotions of anyone who lets me.
I will make you hurt, make you cry, make you laugh and sigh.
But my words don't affect him. Especially not when I plead for him to leave.
He's always there, watching and waiting.
And I can never look away.
Not when I want him to come closer.

The Shadow

I didn't mean to fall in love.
But now that I have, I can't stay away.
I'm mesmerized by her smile, by her eyes, and the way she moves.
The way she undresses...
I'll keep watching and waiting. Until I can make her mine.
And once she is, I'll never let her go.
Not even when she begs me to.

While not required, it is highly suggested to read the novella, Satan's Affair, first.

H.D. Carlton

H.D. Carlton

H.D. Carlton doesn’t just write books—she opens doors to places you probably shouldn’t go, and then dares you to step inside. Her stories unravel where the shadows linger a little too long, where love and terror breathe in the same space, and where morality is more a suggestion than a rule. Known for her viral dark romance series Cat and Mouse, Carlton has become a bold voice in dark romantic suspense—one who isn't afraid to blur the line between desire and danger.

Raised in rural Ohio, she found her creative spark early in poetry, a medium that taught her how to distill raw emotion into rhythm. But it wasn’t long before those verses turned into something deeper—darker. Now, she crafts worlds where obsession burns hotter than love and where her morally gray characters make readers question their own limits. Haunting Adeline, Satan’s Affair, and their companion stories aren’t just page-turners—they’re conversations about fear, power, control, and surrender.

Carlton’s writing is immersive and emotionally charged, dripping with tension and layered with themes of psychological manipulation, forbidden attraction, and the terrifying intimacy of vulnerability. Her breakout success has made waves internationally, landing her on bestseller lists like USA Today and The New York Times, but it’s her loyal readers—the ones who embrace the chaos—who have truly fueled her rise.

When she’s not weaving her brand of beautifully twisted romance, she’s binge-watching paranormal documentaries or fantasizing about life under the sea. Her characters may live in the dark, but her imagination is limitless—and unapologetically wild.

Cat and Mouse Duet

Cat and Mouse Duet consists of two primary books, and includes one additional book that complement the series but is not considered mandatory reads — considered a complete series. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
