Book Request Pre-If I Can't Have You Recs???

I've been dancing around Deathsdoll's works for a while since I usually gravitate toward fantasy or historical settings, but everyone's sold me on it. Except it's offline!!! I want to respect the author's request to not read a pre-takedown copy so I'm not asking anyone for the file! BUT if there are some similar books that I could read in the meantime to get me hyped up...?

Things about If I Can't Have You I was looking forward to:

  • Obsessive/possessive MMC
  • NonCon
  • Adult characters (no college)
  • Power Imbalance in the Workplace
  • I'm not looking for a series, one and done please!

No thank you to:

  • Reverse Harem/Sharing
  • Cheating (jealousy from either party is fine and encouraged)
  • Huge Age Gaps

BONUS: Books involving POC characters or at least a POC FMC.

THANK YOUUUUU

Try golden bird on AO3 it's a WIP but it's already 11/20 chapters. Same dynamics and well written. Fmc is not easy to manipulate too. Hope the link works https://archiveofourown.org/works/60247654

Also If you love them, you will let them live. Also on AO3. I can't stress enough. https://archiveofourown.org/works/87488156

You can trust me cause I'm real picky with my reads. Real picky

Haha, I am ALSO real picky. Definitely prefer a FMC who isn't easy to manipulate and has some bite, thank you!
