Book excerpt: “I’d hate to make you cry more when I take you back.” Marcel is kind, generous, and compassionate. He’s also hostile, mean, and unsympathetic. Moving in with her older brother’s best friend—an absurdly handsome and wealthy actor—is not what Bell wanted. Marcel didn’t give her a choice when he promises he’ll take care of her while she works on her dream college program. He won’t expose her to the hideous experience of the entertainment industry. He’d love to wrap his arms around her with cameras showing the world that Bell is his. He’s aware of how much pain and changes the industry can do to someone. There’s no need to tap into that unsightly world to control her. Marcel is good at what he does. He’s confident in his power over her, but too much desire will ruin his plan. Day after day, Marcel smiles at her with adoration, watches with overwhelming love, and touches with so much possessive pain. “Growing pains,” he’d say. He never put a hand on her, but she seems to always be hurt when she’s with him. Maybe that’s why Bell has always been scared of him. He’s just as much of a manipulator as he is a liar. Bell doesn’t stand a chance, nor will she ever have one.

Download or read book Beautifully Cruel written by M. William Phelps and published by Pinnacle Books. This book was released on 2017-11-28 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times bestselling true crime author investigates a shocking case of a wife, mother, and murder in the Iowa suburbs. Iowa housewife Tracey Pittman Roberts seemed to have it all: natural beauty, three loving children, and a fairy tale second marriage to a wealthy businessman. But beneath the happy façade was a woman who used lies, manipulation, sex, ugly allegations, blackmail—and even murder—to serve her own selfish ends. On December 13, 2001, police rushed to Tracey’s home after a shooting left her young neighbor dead. Tracey claimed it was an act of self-defense. Nine gunshot wounds—and a decades-long trail of extortion, fabrication, fraud, and intimidation—said otherwise. Ten years after the crime, Tracey’s case finally went to trial in an explosive courtroom showdown. In a searing exploration of the criminal mind, acclaimed investigative journalist M. William Phelps traces the saga of a psychopath who hid in plain sight—until her wicked ways caught up with her. “Phelps is one of America’s finest true-crime authors.” —Vincent Bugliosi “Phelps is the Harlan Coben of real-life thrillers.” —Allison Brennan

Download or read book The Strange Case of Donald J Trump written by Dan P. McAdams and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-02-17 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Strange Case of Donald J. Trump provides a coherent and nuanced psychological portrait of Donald Trump, drawing upon biographical events in the subject's life and contemporary scientific research and theory in personality, developmental, and social psychology. Dan P. McAdams, renowned psychologist who pioneered the study of lives, examines the central personality traits, personal values and motives, and the interpersonal and cultural factors that together have shaped Trump's psychological makeup, with an emphasis on the strangeness of the case--that is, how Trump again and again defies psychological expectations regarding what it means to be a human being. The book's central thesis is that Donald Trump is the episodic man. The chapters, structured as stand-alone essays each riffing on a single psychological theme, build on each other to present a portrait of a person who compulsively lives in the moment, without an internal story to integrate his life in time. With an emphasis on scientific personality research, rather than political rhetoric, McAdams shows that Trump's utter lack of an inner life story is truly exceptional. This book is a remarkable case study which should be of as much interest to psychologists as it is to readers trying to reckon with the often confounding behavior and temperament of the 45th President of the United States.
