A Woman In Love: Deception - The Beginning

Ravel told me the Bible says that love is an act, not a feeling. So what is this crazy emotion that keeps me holding on? My desire for him seems to take control, as he professes his love for me. How can I be so happy one minute and so sad another, while telling myself I can't go on like this? Yet I am so desperately in love.

A Woman In Love: Deception is the account of a love so intoxicating that the lovers cannot get enough of each another. After Ravel and Clementine meet and fall in love, they marry twice. But then he becomes someone else, having psychotic episodes leading toward absences.

Clementine's life is turned upside down. As if a switch is turned off, she feels Ravel is not the man she married. It becomes a triumph of a love so strong that she endures. He professes his love for her, and she cannot let him go.

The heart wants what it wants.

Clementine tries to understand the nature of his behavior, but to no avail. Their love story is a mind-altering state of ups and downs, with passions having a stronghold on Clementine, even as she must decide if she can persevere.

A Woman In Love: Deception, The Beginning is the second book in a trilogy.
