Defeated by Justice is a work of historically-accurate erotic fiction that is an assimilation of true events, probable hearsay and possible conjecture, as experienced by the writer.Set against the backdrop of South Africa in the early 1990s, with Apartheid in its final throws and society in turbulent transition from virtual dictatorship to democracy, Nicole Burger enters the South African Police Force, by necessity rather than design, to flee her own tempestuous and unsure personal circumstances.Intelligent, but naïve, she quickly has to learn to balance her morals with her need to survive, as she embarks on a self-discovering and often soul-searching journey in the employment of one of the last bastions of the Apartheid State.Adaptation becomes alteration and evolution becomes regression as she strains the boundaries of her sexuality and ethics in the sub-culture of this male dominated organisation. That is, until the system that she occasionally fails, eventually betrays and fails her, dramatically and completely.
On the emerald green island of Jamaica, an unpredictable adventure awaits twins Ana and Nicky who travel there to celebrate their coming of age. Under the Caribbean sun, they anticipate a holiday filled with fun, freedom, and excitement. But the idyllic island harbours hidden dangers beyond their expectations.
As the twins revel amid the natural tropical beauty, the thin veneer of paradise soon peels away. Their riveting journey quickly becomes a rollercoaster of suspense and action, where lust masquerades as love, morality wears ambiguous shades of gray, innocence hangs in the balance, and ruin looms one impulsive misstep away.
Ultimately, Ana and Nicky’s suspenseful odyssey of twists and turns, romantic encounters, and narrow escapes will redefine their limits of self-preservation. On an island where peril and pleasure intertwine, the twins’ quest for discovery threatens any chance of returning home the same. Their choices will determine if this final fling is merely the end of their adventurous holiday or the end of innocence itself.
