Lust Lies Love — Michael James

I am Libby Reeves and I have been living in the States for the last six months. My native country is Garria. That is where I have lived my entire life, living under my father's dictatorship. He controls every aspect of it. Sometimes I wonder if it is even my own life to live at all. Growing up, I attended a private school where he wanted. Took all the classes he wanted. And I will eventually marry who he wants. There is no way out from under his control. At least not until his death. I am going to take full advantage of what little freedom I have been given. Father has given me an inch and I know full well that in reality, it's only half an inch. In this time I have been given, I want to learn about who I am. Who I would have been if I weren't born the person I was born to be. Even though I am not supposed to befriend a man, I can't seem to stay away from Michael Gailaraye.
