Dark Desires: Three Diabolical Thrillers

The Beast:
Hannah, a 19th century prostitute, finds herself married to a man so sexually depraved she calls him The Beast. She records her anguish in a journal, which is found a century later by April Ingram. April is both fascinated and repelled by what she reads, and becomes increasingly drawn into Hannah’s world. But can she pull herself back into the present before this obsession with the past destroys her?

Forbidden:
The Second World War is the setting for this fast paced thriller about a British fighter plane shot down over Nazi occupied France. During their escape back to England the pilot and co-pilot discover a mutual sexual attraction while hiding out from the enemy. The pilot who is straight––or thought he was––is haunted by the liaison for years. But when he tries to contact his wartime lover, more than a decade later, he is in for the shock of his life.

Taboo:
When two male cops get the hots for each other in 1950s Toronto, they could face jail time if caught. A decoy wife seems like the answer to their prayers. But ends up not being quite what either one expected. The conclusion is a shocker.
