WHO MAINTAINS THEIR BALANCE ON THIS TIGHTROPE OF SENSUALITY AND GAMESMANSHIP?
Captivating, sexy, thrilling— Prey For Me charts a psychological war of brinkmanship and desire between complexity scientist Victor Safir and financial analyst Elisabeth-Alexandra Lynne. Victor is immediately and compellingly drawn in by Alex’s hypnotic sexual lure.
But he quickly picks up on the strange flip flops between her sweet-young thing personality, and her manipulative aggressiveness that leads him to think something is badly out of kilter with her psyche.
Yet his intellectual and erotic curiosities are also piqued by this added dimension of mystery and danger. Victor and Alex are thrust together as business partners in the risky world of London finance, complicating and raising the stakes of their personal game playing.
As Alex’s behavior becomes increasingly violent, Victor suspects that she is behind sinister actions involving others in the firm. While these two continue to play sexual games with each other, they move closer and closer to a violent clash.
Along the way, Prey for Me goes inside the worlds of high-flying academics and risk-taking financiers, as well as providing short tours of some of the world’s most exotic and exciting locales.
