Summary

"What if love wasn't just about connection? What if love was a transaction, where every gesture came with a price? 
In Twisted Affection: How Love Can Break You, delve into the dark side of relationships where affection is manipulated, guilt is used as a weapon, and love becomes a transaction. Through a collection of intense, emotionally charged short stories, this book explores the destructive power of manipulative love. Each story unfolds a tale of women trapped in relationships where their deepest vulnerabilities are exploited, their self-worth shattered, and their desires twisted into tools of control. 
From the honeymoon phase where everything seems perfect, to the slow, insidious erosion of independence and self-love, these stories reveal how love can often be a mask for something much darker. Whether it's the constant tug of guilt, the fear of abandonment, or the suffocating cycle of never being enough, the women in these stories struggle to find their identity in the face of love that is more about control than connection. 
Prepare yourself for a series of gut-wrenching, thought-provoking narratives that will challenge your beliefs about love and its capacity to both heal and harm. Twisted Affection is an unflinching exploration of the complexities of power dynamics in relationships, and the price of loving someone who doesn't know how to love you back. 
This book is not just a collection of stories—it's a warning about the dangers of losing yourself in a relationship, and the real cost of giving everything to someone who will never give you what you truly need.

Saved from an abduction and unthinkable harm, Gabrielle Bennett owed her life to her rescuer. Marc Stephano, a stranger from the sketchy shadows of town, could’ve asked for money.

A successful, self-made millionaire, he’s as powerful as ever, but can Gabrielle forgive and forget—in the name of love? “Palmer proves that love and passion can be found even in the most dangerous situations.” —Publishers Weekly

    Can a librarian's matchmaking mischief lead to a love that rewrites their stories? 
 
If the covers of every romance book ever published didn't convince librarian Evangeline Kelly that she isn't heroine material, her fiancé calling off their wedding when she lost her hair to alopecia did. But what's a girl head over heels for love to do when her feelings are unrequited? Matchmake, that's what. Armed with library patrons' check-out histories, she's determined to make at least one love connection--even if it's not her own.  
 
Tattoo artist Tai Davis is used to people judging him with a single glance, so it doesn't surprise him when the town's quirky new librarian believes his bad-boy reputation without giving him a chance. He can't help being intrigued by her, though, so when he discovers Evangeline's secret matchmaking scheme, he's not above striking a bargain with her. She just has to agree to one date with him for every time she uses his hometown knowledge to set up library patrons on a romantic rendezvous. The deal is made, but in the process, they both might learn you can't judge a book--or each other--by the cover.
