As panic turns into fury, a tense message exchange with Mr L reveals boundaries being crossed—from surveillance to stalking—and the moral and legal consequences that follow. The opening chapter sets a dark romance tone shaped by obsession, secrecy, and escalating danger, including kidnapping and violence hinted in the author’s advance content notes.","DISTORTED PERCEPTIONS  \nLANTON LEGACY  \nBOOK 2  \nESME TAYLOR  \nOCEANOFPDF.

He does things that are rather unhinged. This is not real life—I don’t condone stalking, but I do write dark romance where it happens.  \nEqually, our FMC also does some questionable things. The red flags are flying, but these two morally grey characters are loving it. If it’s not your thing, please don’t read on.

Every single camera I usually used had been disconnected, and the only one I could hack into was the street camera across the road from the restaurant; the same restaurant that now had a large handwritten sign in the window that read,‘closed until further notice’.  \nFuriously keying in some code, I tried to re-establish the connections, but they were gone. As if someone had removed the cameras completely, which was impossible because that would mean someone knew they were there, and I was far too good at my job to let that happen.  \nI tried the tracker on her car and then the one on her phone, but they weren’t working either.  \n“Fucker,” I roared before opening up my s","cbCaimttnjdPcvGA","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimttnjdPcvGA","pdf",2994521,280,"English","en",105,"# Contents\n## Prologue\n## Roman\n## Hana\n## Epilogue\n## Acknowledgments","[{\"question\":\"What triggers Roman’s immediate crisis at the start of the prologue?\",\"answer\":\"Roman discovers that the surveillance cameras and trackers he relies on have been disconnected or disabled, and Hana appears to have vanished.\"},{\"question\":\"What does Mr L say has happened beyond normal surveillance?\",\"answer\":\"Mr L tells Roman that it has “gone too far,” reframing Roman’s behavior from surveillance into stalking and warning that it will bring serious trouble.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the prologue frame the conflict between the characters?\",\"answer\":\"The prologue centers on Roman’s insistence on finding Hana and his sense of obsession, while Mr L pushes back, emphasizing danger, boundaries, and the need to stop watching.\"}]","Distorted Perceptions -
