Haunting Adeline

Genuinely one of the most divisive books in the genre. Adeline inherits her great-grandmother's manor and acquires a stalker — Zade, who is hunting human traffickers and has decided she belongs to him. CW: every dark-romance trigger you can name. If you read the trigger list and still want in, this is the gold standard of the modern stalker-romance wave. Five peppers, and that's with respect.
