About the Book
#1 Amazon Best Seller
Her life was a dream come true. Then it turned into a nightmare... Ruth and her boyfriend Michael seem to have the perfect relationship. She's a successful lawyer. They own a beautiful home, and drive expensive luxury cars. Life is good.
But appearances can be deceiving...
When Michael loses his job, he starts to change. He becomes angry, violent. He disappears for hours at a time, and returns home stinking of alcohol. At first, Ruth denies the obvious. She insists on seeing the best in Michael, and prays for their life to return to normal. But as his temper grows worse, Ruth slowly begins to realize her life is in danger...
Soon, she finds herself trapped in an emotionally abusive nightmare. Cut off from her friends, with no one to turn to for help, Ruth struggles to pay the bills and keep up appearances. But is she strong enough to escape the terrifying grip her boyfriend has on her? And what scares her more - Michael's violent outbursts?
Or her paralyzing fear of being alone...
Review"It's very cleverly done and the writing is perfect especially considering that the theme of the book is such a taboo subject."
Deborah 'thebookblogger' James, Amazon Reviewer "Worth picking up if your looking for a domestic thriller."

Oneal Walters is the author of THE EMPTY COUPLE which was a #1 Amazon best seller. He was born in Toronto, Canada, to parents who were Jamaican immigrants, and attended York University and George Brown College, where he attained a BA and a Communications Certificate, respectively. He lives with his wife, their three children and a pet hamster called Sparkle.
By day, Oneal works as a Delivery Agent, something he enjoys immensely, but on days off and in the evenings he writes disarmingly honest poetry and white knuckle thrillers. His two poetry books so far, are based on the personal experiences he has had in his life, but his latest work is a domestic thriller in which a couple with a seemingly perfect life are hiding a dark secret of domestic abuse.
In his free time Oneal loves watching movies and TV series on Netflix, with thrillers and horror among his favorite genres.
As an up-and-coming black author, Oneal intends to keep writing in the thriller genre and engross his growing readership with engaging stories and identifiable characters.
