Behind Closed Doors by B.A. Paris

Behind Closed Doors by B.A. Paris is a psychological thriller that relies heavily on the jarring contrast between public perception and private reality. The description should lure readers in with the illusion of a perfect couple before revealing the sinister, suffocating truth behind their domestic facade. 

Headline: The perfect marriage is the perfect lie.

Body: Everyone knows a couple like Jack and Grace. He is a charismatic and wealthy lawyer who never loses a case. She is his elegant, flawless wife, devoted to him and her younger sister. They appear to have it all. You’d love to get to know Grace better, but it’s difficult—she and Jack are inseparable. 

Some might call this true love. Others might wonder why Grace never answers the phone, or why she is never without her husband. Or what truly happens once the dinner party is over and the front door has closed. What they would find is a chilling reality far darker than any lie.

Headline: From the outside, their life is a fairy tale. Inside, it’s a nightmare.

Body: When Grace meets Jack Angel, he seems to be the man of her dreams: handsome, successful, and kind to her disabled younger sister, Millie. After a whirlwind romance, they marry and move into a beautiful, high-tech home, seeming to have a life of endless perfection. But for Grace, the wedding vows mark the beginning of her imprisonment. 

Behind closed doors, Jack’s charming facade gives way to a sadistic need for control. He has meticulously planned every aspect of her life, isolating her from friends and family and holding her captive in her own home. Grace is trapped, her only hope for survival depending on her ability to outsmart a master manipulator while protecting the one person he can use against her. 

This gripping and suspenseful thriller explores the chilling reality of psychological abuse, forcing readers to question how well they can ever truly know a couple and leaving them with a profound sense of unease that will linger long after the final page.
