Because She Thought She Loved Me
The course of true love doesn't run easy when your husband is
a powerful pornographer who controls most of the shady side of the Internet. And when a
tender love affair runs out of control, desperate measures are needed to stop the darkness
engulfing its frantic protagonists.
Because She Thought She Loved Me offers a thrilling descent
into the heart of sexual madness, moving in overdrive from London's West End, via the
sinister private clubs of Paris, to the no-holds-barred illegal strip-joints of New York.
Maxim Jakubowski continues his daring exploration of the night side of sex in a
suspenseful tale full of memorable characters and sharp emotions.
