Synopsis
I know I’m twisted.
Growing up in a perfectly well-adjusted home, I don’t really have an excuse.
But no matter… I realize how messed up I am. And therapy can only do so much.
I pushed my
boyfriend to violence, a violence he couldn't control. Sickly, I almost liked
it. So I pushed him more. Before long, the pain outweighed the pleasure and the
loss I sustained shattered me. So I ran. I’m now a bit shell-shocked harboring
a lot of guilt. My boyfriend is now my ex and wants revenge. He wants me to pay
for turning him into the monster he’s become. And I still have a deviant
yearning that I don’t understand. My own monster inside… my own demon to battle.
I can’t get
close to anyone. I can’t give in and scratch that itch. I can’t wreck someone
else.
And now
there is Kian… my rescuer on a dark, painful night. He sees through my
pretense. He tries to pull me from my frightened isolation, to keep me from
becoming a victim. He forces me to face my warped desires and shows me that
pain doesn’t really have to truly hurt.
He wants to
show me a way to serenity. But I am afraid… Will I ruin a good man?

Author Bio
Sibylla Matilde grew up in the mountain valleys of Southwest
Montana, and grew up exploring the alfalfa fields on the back of a horse. She attended a two-room schoolhouse 1st
through 6th grade where she had same teacher the whole time. Beginning at about age 12, Sibylla discovered
historical romance, feeding off of work of Jude Devereaux, Lisa Kleypas, and
Karen Robards. She loves a book that can
make the reader run the gamut of emotions, from the sweet glow of new love to
gut-wrenching heartache. She always has
stories floating around in her head, living in some fantasyland until she
writes them down to free them. She is a
true romantic, a bit of a Pollyanna, and a deeply emotional soul.
Music is her emotional trigger. Growing up with a Wagnarian-opera-loving
mother, Sibylla grew up with music that digs deep into her soul and pulls out
emotion. The soundtrack to her life
includes different genres and generations.
She looooooooves Thirty Seconds to Mars (rather obsessively, actually)
with a little Kings of Leon to mix things up, and pimps them out regularly to
all her friends through Spotify. She
also enjoys watching Met Opera HD broadcasts at her local movie theater, and
hopes (listening Met?) to someday see Diana Damrau reprise her role as Mozart’s
Queen of the Night in Die Zauberflöte – The Magic Flute.
Sibylla lives with her husband, Mike, a man who she firmly
believes saved her from her self-destructive, hot mess self. He makes her laugh every day, even when
things seem to be falling apart around them, and has proved to her that love
really can heal a shattered soul. In 18
years, they have never had a fight, but argue regularly with their two teenage
kids who have, unfortunately, inherited their father’s quick wit (unfortunate
as it is a quick wit that Sibylla, herself, definitely does not possess – there
is a reason she is a writer and not a stand-up comedian), and live a quiet life
with their two weird little rescued Chiweenies. Wait… teenagers and little
yap-dogs? Okay, maybe not so quiet. :)
