Seduced by a Sociopath

A devastating true story of love, betrayal, and deceit.

Chrissy: attractive, successful 40-year-old divorcee with three amazing children.

After months of detective work, Chrissy finally tracks him down. But the reality of Alexander’s true identity is far darker than she ever could have imagined …
