Love Bombed: A Novel

When a nearly forty-year-old single mom meets a quirky Italian father of two, her world becomes fun and exciting—her predictable, steady life suddenly spiced with erotic adventures and tropical vacations. But after falling for him, she finds herself caught in a confusing pattern of covert abuse that she struggles to find her way out of.

When Clara, a single working mom in her late thirties, first meets Andreas, an offbeat Italian father of two, she’s not overly impressed. He’s not particularly her type, and she finds some of his eccentricities off-putting. But his attentiveness is seductive—and their sexual chemistry is undeniable. So much so that Clara overlooks all the initial red flags and succumbs to his charm.

As Andreas whisks her off on romantic vacations to places like Tulum and Greece, Clara begins to notice subtle changes and odd turns in their sexually charged relationship. Does he truly love her, or is he manipulating her to get what he wants? Is he a quirky, unpredictable romantic—or a gaslighting narcissist?

Follow Clara as she struggles to unravel the truth about the man she loves in this erotic and suspenseful story of what can happen when seemingly magical chemistry takes a dark turn.
