Perfected Sinfulness Michael J. Gilbert 1. Painos

Sometimes small towns harbor the most sinister secrets. A chance meeting at a café reunites Franki with her old high school classmate, Eli, who has returned to their hometown. Franki is urged by her friend, Ryah, to overcome her bashfulness and pursue him. But Ryah has plans of her own. The beautiful and seductive Ryah can have any man that she wants, but forbidden pleasure excites her, so she targets Eli. Ryah is also having an affair with Bo, the local detective. He visits her, despite being involved with the emotionally damaged Scarlett, whose secret past threatens to ignite a series of events that could destroy everyone. Narrated through six different perspectives, Perfected Sinfulness exposes the dangerous nature of interpersonal relationships when narcissism and manipulation become the primary modes of interaction. Suspicion and dishonesty contaminate relationships as everyone pursues their own interests. The ensuing aftermath guarantees no one will escape unharmed.
