Intrusive Intentions
by Sebastian J. Plata

Daniel’s semester abroad in Poland turns into a nightmare that makes him wish he never left home in this creepy queer psychological suspense novel by talented author Sebastian J. Plata.

“A soul-chillingly unnerving exploration of intimacy and obsession” Lev A.C. Rosen, award-winning author, on Seeing Strangers

Life back home might’ve been boring and predictable, but it was safe . . .

Coming to terms with his sexuality and craving adventure, twenty-one-year-old American Daniel begins a semester abroad in Kraków, Poland. It’s not only a stunning city full of culture, but Daniel also hits the jackpot with his host family.

Young couple Henryk and Aneta Lis, and their little son Kuba are wonderful—and ultra-wealthy! Daniel can’t believe his luck. But the more time he spends with beautiful and charismatic Aneta, the more he senses that his fairy tale experience is turning dark . . .

He’s soon sucked into a powerful and dangerous web of obsession, deceit, and connivance that will make him wish he’d never left his quiet hometown . . .

Exploring the complexities of morality, identity, and who we aspire to become, Intrusive Intentions is ideal for fans of Patricia Highsmith’s The Talented Mr Ripley, the movie Saltburn, and books by Lucy Foley.
