The Perception of Vice (Paperback)

Paperback. I'm running for my freedom, for the hope of a good life, for my faith in true love. One night my boyfriend takes me out to dinner, slips a ring on my finger, and tells me we're getting married in three days. Oh, and we're moving to a war-torn country, which he'll lead as president. When I refuse his non-proposal, he blackmails me into submission. Suddenly the man I was falling in love with is my worst enemy. No matter how hard I run, he hunts me down, and whenever I fight back to try to save myself, he turns it into a twisted game. Now I'm on a mission to find out what drove him to accept this assignment and why he's so cold and distant. But the more I discover about my husband, the more I'm drawn to his deviant desires. Then, when a far worse enemy threatens me, I'm forced to ask myself how long I've had these cravings and why my loyalty to him outweighs all else. How I love a furious little rebel. Even better if she thinks she can escape from me. Because she never will. I tried having a normal relationship with my girlfriend, but I'm too screwed up. Now my latent desire to kidnap her and keep her as my plaything has become reality. She's mine till death, and I have complete control over her. Let her think I'm going to kill her. Love means vulnerability before your enemies, and this operation requires I get attached to no one. Yet I don't bargain for my past catching up with me. I accepted this assignment thinking I'd shape a country's fate, but that fate is fast turning into a nightmare. Politics and love are both driving me closer to the traumas I've fled from all my adult life. As I cling to my last shreds of control, my world crumbles, leaving me questioning everything. When I'm utterly alone, off keel, and reduced to nothing, the memory of my little rebel drives me to seek a self I never knew. Can I find myself, rescue her, and save the country before my enemies cause widespread destruction? The eighth book in the Senses series, this can be enjoyed as a standalone, though it reads better after the sixth in the series, The Sight of Obsession. This item is printed on demand.
