Sex, Love and Abuse [PDF ebook] 
Discourses on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault

This book explores the morality of love and sex, and how distortions of these sometimes develop into abuse. Hayes argues that there are strong similarities between different kinds of abusive relationships, and that these similarities arise out of the common narratives surrounding romantic love and the logic of intimate relationships.
