"He Counts Their Tears" a novel about power, control, and the elusive world of the psychopath, by Mary Ann D'Alto available at Amazon.com (available in paperback, hardcopy, and kindle)
Aaron has a problem. Aaron likes to play a game, a sick game, with women's minds. Aaron is a psychopath. You would never guess as much, because he is so handsome, so captivating, and so very, very charming. Yes, Aaron seems too good to be true, because, of course, he is. Enter the world of Dr. Aaron Stein, and learn just how this perfect gentleman toys with women's minds, and plays with their emotions. Each woman is a new chance to play his game. Time and again he will gain a woman's trust, creating the facade of the "perfect relationship". Each woman will think she has found "heaven on earth". But it is evil that seduces her, and evil that lures her, right towards the brink of insanity. Slowly, Aaron will begin to take over her psyche, using covert hypnosis, and mind games to control her. Because power and control is everything to Aaron. And the game must be played, each time, right through to its devastating end. Time and again Aaron will have his fun, making his "new love" believe she is his "one and only", his "soulmate", "his true love". It will be delightful, and deceptive, and deliciously, dangerously wonderful, until Aaron becomes bored. Then, abruptly, he will simply discard he. She will be left shocked and confused. She will feel as if she were mentally skinned alive. And Aaron? He will simply move on, to a new game, as if she had never mattered. Because, of course, she never did. Even so, she will continue to miss him, and want him back, in spite of everything. She will never forget him. Aaron knew this from the first "hello". He will smile, and count her tears.
