The October 2025 Dark Romance Release Everyone’s Talking About
The countdown is on: on October 1, 2025, indie romance author Lana Lain releases her newest novella, Caught in Between. A book for readers who crave dark romance, toxic love, steamy alpha male tension, and obsessive desire.
If you’re searching for your next spicy romance 2025 release, this one belongs at the very top of your list.
What Is Caught in Between About?
Selena thought she could run. She thought the shadows of her past would stay buried. But on a luxury cruise, she collides with two men who refuse to let her escape:
- Nikolai – the violent protector, a possessive alpha male who’d burn the world for her.
- Logan – charming on the surface, dangerous underneath, and willing to push her to her breaking point.
What begins as a chance encounter spirals into a slow-burn betrayal, a storm of lust and fear, and a battle for control. Selena is trapped between desire and danger, power and surrender, love and obsession.
This is not your soft, sweet love story. This is dark romance with sharp edges, high stakes, and the kind of chemistry that will leave you breathless.

Why This October Book Release Stands Out
