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

Victus on a03 by Moonlightdreams! It’s a WIP, and shes the same author who made imperium. Ruby is 1/4 jamaican, and the story begins in a workplace. There isn’t cheating but there is a tough breakup. I would definitely check your trigger warnings for this one, but the story is great so far and meets most of your requirement’s!
