Kindness was never supposed to be an invitation.
Jonah Reed knows better than to want Mara Bell. She is his coworker. She is engaged. She is kind to everyone.
But in BriarMark Tower, wanting has a way of becoming something else.
At first, the office only seems to be helping. Calendar invites place Jonah and Mara alone together. Photos change. Messages send themselves. Closed rooms become too intimate. The building listens to every unspoken thought Jonah is ashamed of, then starts giving those thoughts shape.
Mara has seen this pattern before.
She knows the rules. Do not answer borrowed voices. Do not trust private rooms. Do not let loneliness turn another person into a debt.
As the missing thirteenth floor begins to surface, Jonah and Mara are forced into the centre of a haunting built from obsession, erased complaints, vanished employees, and every small kindness twisted into proof of ownership.
To survive, Mara must reclaim her own story.
And Jonah must face the most terrifying truth of all:
Wanting someone does not mean they belong to you.
The Wanting Floor is a supernatural psychological horror novel about obsession, consent, workplace haunting, and the monstrous difference between love and possession.
