About this ebook
A powerful story of one woman's journey from darkness into light...
Top photographer Hope Dunne has known joy and heartbreak, and finds serenity through the lens of her camera. Content in her SoHo loft, she isn’t looking for a man or excitement. But these things find her when she flies to London to photograph one of the world’s most celebrated writers.
Finn O’Neill exudes warmth and a boyish charm. Enormously successful, he is a perfect counterpoint to Hope’s quiet, steady grace–and he’s taken instantly by her. He courts her as no one ever has before, whisking her away to his palatial, isolated Irish estate.
Hope finds it all, and him, irresistible. But soon cracks begin to appear in his stories: Gaps in his history, a few innocent lies, and bouts of jealousy unnerve her. Suddenly Hope is both in love and deeply in doubt, and ultimately frightened of the man she loves. Is it possible that this adoring man is hiding something even worse?

Wow..if you want to discover what a sociopathic personality is like look no further than Finn O' Neill. The unravelling of his character is a window to the disturbed mind of an obssessive partner and compulsive liar. The book displays clearly how dangerous a person of this nature can become and as the main character Hope is told if you ever feel that something is going horribly wrong then...run!..don't look back! Its a very strong read with an even stronger message.
