Xlibris Press Release – 27 February 2020

BOURNEMOUTH, England– M. L. Stark announces the release of the first part of her “Burning Desire” trilogy, “Burning Desire: The Psychopath and the Girl in Black Prada Shoes Part I”(published by Xlibris UK).

A story that closely depicts a real-life event, the fiction focuses on Mary, a fragile and well established wealthy woman who was charmed by a charismatic doctor, Drake Lucifer Bates. Little did she know, she will fall into his deception.

Mary gets into the claws of a cunning psychopath with a hidden dark shade. The story moves forward with Mary struggling as he abuses her. Refusing to leave him, his constant abuse led her to the edge of suicide. Driving her mad as she becomes frightened and insecure. This is the beginning of her struggle between good and evil. A matter of life and death that will alter her life. Will Mary be able to survive in the hands of a psychopath?

Stark takes her reader to a victim’s mind that will hopefully lead to understanding their emotional and psychological state as well as their struggle and despair. “It is a suppressed theme in our daily life but it is a taboo to talk about. Too few understand or don’t know about the danger the victim is living in. Too many do not know how to get out of the abuse,” Stark says.

Center for Disease Control and Prevention stated that 1 in 5 women are being physically and sexually abused by their significant other. Thus, the alarming statistics urged Stark to pen “Burning Desire: The Psychopath and the Girl in Black Prada Shoes Part I” as she believes that abuse is a crucial topic needed to be included in the conversation.

Author: M. L. Stark

I am M. L. Stark, and within the pages of "HUGGER MUGGER: The Con Man Smile" and "MAZE AFLAME: Flimflam Man," I pour out the fiery essence of my very soul. These books are not just ink on paper; they are the embodiment of my triumph over the darkest shadows of my past. Through the flickering flames of adversity, I have risen, crafting tales that echo the resilient beat of my heart. Every word penned is a testament to the strength I discovered within myself, a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. I have dared to bare my scars, to expose the rawness of my wounds, for I know that in sharing my journey, I offer hope to those who may tread a similar path. And as I close each chapter, I am reminded of the immortal words of Bob Marley: "The biggest coward is a man who awakens a woman’s love without the intention of loving her." These words resonate within me, fueling my passion to shine a light on the darkness, to empower those who have been wronged, and to stand as a beacon of love and resilience in a world that too often seeks to extinguish the flames of hope.
