A cautionary tale of love, obsession, and the ghosts that haunt us.Dallas Pierce had a successful career, grown children, and was single after an amicable divorce. At sixty-three, confident and fit, he was counting down the days to a well-earned retirement. Then, on a routine trip to San Diego, he met Xandra-twenty-three, stunning, and everything his ordered life wasn't.
Like a character breaking free from a comic book page, Xandra pulls Dallas into a graphic world of intoxicating sexuality, searing heat, and affective beauty. Young, intelligent, and quick witted, she commands his life in ways he never imagined possible. But Dallas finds there's a dark side to her carefully curated perfection, and he's forced to confront not just the woman who begins destroying his life but the reasons behind why he can't seem to let her go.From an expensive Tiffany's ring to handcuffs and county jail, from a luxury apartment to a restraining order, this unflinching account chronicles one man's descent into a relationship that defied logic yet felt inevitable.Reading at times like a memoir, a psychological thriller, and a modern-day horror story, this unflinching account explores the thin line between passion and destruction, asking: What happens when the person you can't live without is the same person you may not survive.It's about the lies we tell ourselves, the wounds we can't heal, and the price of pulling the pin on a grenade and refusing to let go of it.We don't see things as they are; we see them as we are.A raw, unforgettable exploration of how your past can creates your present and why some shiny objects, like the sun, can warm you with their light before they totally consume you in their fire.
