Passion marks

by Lee Hayes

Victims of domestic abuse know that the violence they suffer at the hands of loved ones is not limited by gender, culture, sexual orientation, or socio-economic status. Now, first-time author takes this hot-button issue to gripping new levels in a novel that transcends all barriers of sex, class, and race. Struggling with the recent death of his identical twin brother, homosexual African American Kevin Davis is forced to come to terms with his abusive lover. "From the outside it looked like the perfect world; exclusive neighborhood, fancy cars, and wealth. If only they knew". Everything that looks good isn't' good for you. From the outside, Kevin Davis' world leaves nothing to be desired. It is a life of luxury, comfort and money, but never judge a book by its cover. His pretend world hides the verbal, physical and sexual abuse he endures at the hands of his perfect man. This novel finds Kevin entangled in a dark web of love, violence, depravity and torment at the hands of his lover, James Lancaster, the ambitious CEO of a rising Houston software firm. In order to free himself from the cycle of violence, Kevin must overcome his personal demons. In this psychological battle of wills, who will be the ultimate victor?
