Beneath This Man by Jodi Ellen Malpas is the second book in her This Man trilogy. 
 We have witnessed some very terrible and dramatic moments between these two (Ava and Jessie) and both of them would be fully within their rights to walk away and call it quits. Except Jessie is so madly in love with Ava that he needs her to breath. Ava is so hell bent on being an independent woman that she manages to push EVERY SINGLE ONE of Jessie's buttons. Button 1 to send Jessie off the deep end... pushed, button 2... pushed. 
 It's not that she wants to be independent that I have a problem with, it's just her delivery method creates the most drama and makes for an excellent story. 
 Quite a few of Jessie's darker secrets are revealed in this book and not only shock the crap out of Ava but will shock you too.
