"The moment she woke up, her nightmare began..."What would you do if you awakened to find a dangerous stranger in your house? In your bed, next to you? Now your home has become your prison, and your body, a battlefield. How would you hold onto your sanity, your self-esteem, your very soul against someone determined to annihilate all three?In the psychological thriller Break Her, one woman will find herself in this almost unthinkable situation, and one man will discover that he has finally come up against someone unlike any of those he has destroyed before. On the surface, this intruder has all the advantages: strength, weapons, ruthlessness. The only way he can lose is if he finds himself responding to his victim on a human level. The only way she can win is if she rips away the protective lies she’s told herself, the hard shell of indifference she’s hidden in, and becomes again what she has not been since she lost everything that mattered to her, years ago: human.Warning: Includes graphic depictions of rape, sex, and violence and is for readers over the age of 18 only.Reactions from Leading Literary Agents to Break Her:“Your writing is powerful as ever here, but this is… extremely edgy…”“…[T]he writing was excellent … the psychological interplay between the woman and the rapist gripping…. The battle is incredibly tense from the beginning, but, unfortunately, it’s just too graphic for us.”“It has a remorseless grip and the writing is fluent and powerful…. I think it is in many ways a brave book… [but] most readers would recoil in horror (from the very idea of rape) and be affronted. Further the rapist himself is unusually potent and smart, and the story is not simply one of physical abuse but of an attempt to destroy someone.”“This is unpublishable.”

Every once in a rare while, a book comes along that succeeds in all departments--characterization, narration, ideology, execution. One that's so skillfully woven, the end effect is an unforgettable and powerful experience. This is that rare book. If anyone can create tolerance for a terrifyingly bru...

Well it certainly isn't for the faint hearted! (Not sure if my heart has got back to a normal rhythm yet after reading it. Very heavy stuff. I'll be honest I cried, felt nauseous even when I wasn't reading it and my mind could not think of anything else, even now I've got to the end!BE WARNED THIS R...
