Watching in Plain Sight by Leslie Daniels, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

In the past, it was thought that voyeurism was only practiced by solitary figures lurking in the bushes outside bedroom windows. Was I in for a surprise. My name is Maura. After I got to know my "watcher," I discovered through my experiences with him that some voyeurs become a bona fide cohort, complete with their own distinguishing traits, membership, common jargon, unwritten code of ethics and conduct, class divisions, dress codes, and territorial hunting grounds. As it turns out, I was lucky. Very lucky. I would never suggest anyone do something with this much potential danger, but at that time I had no boundaries. I still don't. What I did discover, however, is that sometimes the devil you know is safer than the one you think you know...This, then, is our story.
