Adam is a hero, an Adonis, ageless and virile—at least in his own mind.

Although some people see him in a similar light, the woman whose opinion matters most to him does not. On paper, he has it all: a good job, a beautiful home, and a wife who adores him. It has been a long time since he moved from a small town in western France to Paris, and he has almost left those times behind. Just when he has nearly let go of his youthful love, chance reawakens his old obsession.

The fact that the woman of his dreams did not return his feelings, either then or later, awakens strange, sick, violent thoughts in his mind. And the more he fantasizes, the more his thoughts spur him into action.

A World of One’s Own is a slow-burn, character-driven psychological thriller for readers who enjoy getting inside the characters' heads.
