Book Description

Nova Romano is an anomaly. She's playing a role she didn't choose, living a life that was never hers to begin with. A tapestry of deceit and carefully interwoven lies protect her, But when everything unravels, the truth comes with a heavy price tag. She'll have to marry a man who despises women, Or sell her soul to a monster like me. When Nova realizes I'll sacrifice everyone she loves to keep her, She will have no choice but to give in. I'll drip-feed her my brand of crazy until she's as twisted as I am. That's what happens when an unstable mind falls for a reckless heart, And when she runs, I'll be ready. There is no place she can go that I won't follow. Even the depths of hell itself. Author note: If you like your romance tied up with neat little bows, this won't be the book for you. Vice Moretti is an anti-hero at best, a villain at his worst, and a monster for the parts in between. This love story is raw and toxic and, like the man himself, a little unhinged. Please proceed with caution. Triggers: This book contains dark elements that some readers may find uncomfortable, including offensive language, graphic violence, sexual situations, and often a combination of all three at once. All readers need to be over the age of 18 and have a love for all things morally grey to enjoy the ride.




Deadly Vices


Book Description

Gabriele Taylor presents a philosophical investigation of the 'ordinary' vices traditionally seen as 'death to the soul': sloth, envy, avarice, pride, anger, lust, and gluttony. This complements recent work by moral philosophers on virtue, and opens up the neglected topic of the vices for further study. Whilst in a mild form the vices may be ordinary and common failings, Deadly Vices makes the case that for those wholly in their grip they are fatally destructive, preventingthe flourishing of the self and of a worthwhile life. An agent therefore has a powerful reason to avoid such states and dispositions and rather to cultivate those virtues that counteract a deadly vice.In dealing with individual vices, their impact on the self, and their interrelation, Deadly Vices offers a unified account of the vices that not only encompasses the healing virtues but also engages with issues in the philosophy of mind as well as in moral philosophy, and shows the connection between them. Literary examples are used to highlight central features of individual vices and set them in context.
