Obsessive Lover: Bodyguard Psychiatrist or Therapist Business Tycoon with control issues Ex-Military or Mercenary Cop/Detective with a fixation on their love interest I sigh, shaking my head. “I like the obsessive lover trope, but this list feels too... safe. There’s no real darkness. I want something darker than just an obsession.” Jenni nods and moves on, her pen flying across the page.
