Trügerische Liebe

Trügerische Liebe

Frances Edmonds

A dramatic novel by Frances Edmonds about power, revenge and deception. The marriage of successful businessman Roger and linguist Lilah reveals dark secrets, manipulation and the fine line between love and hate.

The novel "Trügerische Liebe" by British author Frances Edmonds is a tense and multi-layered story of ambition, passion, betrayal and relentless revenge, inspired by the biblical motif of broken trust between a powerful man and the woman who holds his fate in her hands. The plot centers on Roger Sampson, a charismatic and enigmatic head of a large business empire, whose private life remains an enigma even to his closest associates.

His world changes when he meets Lilah, a highly educated and intelligent linguist from Cambridge University. Although Roger conquers her and takes her to the altar, their marriage soon ceases to be an idyll and turns into a dangerous game of competition and hidden motives. As Roger's dark business manipulations and repressed family secrets surface, Lilah realizes that her role in his life is much more complex than that of an ordinary wife.

Frances Edmonds skillfully builds psychological tension, leading the reader through high society, business intrigue and the emotional breakdowns of the main characters. The author, with keen observation, explores the power dynamics in male-female relationships and shows how unresolved injustices from the past can become a devastating driver of revenge.
