What is Love?
And why should it impact so differently on each and every one of us?
We can neither touch, smell, see nor hear it, and yet we know it exists, for it is an experience like no other, appearing in an instant or gradually easing into our lives.
It is such a powerful emotion, that we may find ourselves swept up, spun around and wrung out; sometimes in ecstasy, sometimes in misery, and sometimes in sheer passion.
It is an unseen force that permeates though our bodies and minds, filling our thoughts and dreams, influencing our decisions and guiding our actions. It gives us strength, but can also make us weak. It has the ability not only to heal, but also to destroy. It can be emancipating, but can also enslave us.
There is no mandate, no unifying theme; it takes all in different guises, twisting, soothing, but also hurting. Its sheer presence can lift us above all else, but when lost, it can bring our world to a grinding halt; toppling it from its axis, and sending it spinning off into oblivion.
It can and it does.
Love can manifest itself into acts of pure evil; for is revenge not a child born from Love?
The ten tales in this book are the consequences of such Love...
Daddy's Girl - A.J Armitt â€" A young surgeon has the perfect father, but what lengths will she go to when he needs her help?
Torture - Robert Brooks â€" After the death of his wife, a middle-aged man finds love with a younger woman. All is well, until she dumps him for a younger model...
