Perfectly Patient
THE DOCTOR
The line between life and death is paper thin. Ending lives is no more or less exciting than saving them. We like to pretend we're evolved, but outside of clothes and the restraint of societal law--people are predators. We're creatures controlled by the chemicals in our brains.
When chance puts a mildly wounded doe-eyed woman on my path, the chemicals in my head shift. Patching her up and releasing her back out into the world is not enough; I want to keep her. The world is a dangerous place full of dangerous people, but I can keep her safe. I can take care of her. I can make her love me.
THE DOE
I've never been a runner or a fighter. I move through life walking the path of least resistance and trust that it'll eventually put me where I need to be. Every person is supposed to have a place in the world; I just don't know where mine is yet.
I never thought I would get kidnapped in my thirties. The man who holds me captive is as cold as death itself. He cuts away the trappings of my old life and my instincts demand I do whatever I can to survive, even if that means obeying The Doctor's orders.
Perfectly Patient is a Stockholm "romance." There is dark and disturbing content. Please check author's page for details. Content not suitable for those under 18.

Wow
This was disturbing and strange. It made me think, “How can I read this? What is wrong with me?” Turns out I just needed a Dr. Pepper and chips to finish it. I loved it.

I literally read this in one sitting, fast passed you don’t have to “get into “ the story the writer throws you into it! there are no slow parts whatsoever very dark and twisted, obv NOT for sensitive readers BUT if you love the dark and twisted and need a fast hitting dose of wtf is wrong with me highly recommend 👍
