Description
Reader's
Beware: This is not your mother's romance, nor is there a rich, playboy
millionaire seducing an innocent virgin. Charlie leads a passionate,
controversial, and thought-provoking life - the sex scenes will make you blush,
the twists will make you gasp in disbelief and the characters' angst and pain
will make your heart ache. Prepare to dive into a highly sensual, unique
storyline with substance and a touch of darkness - as well as explicit language
and descriptive sexual content. After all, real life is lived in the shadows,
and Marni will take you there. But love can linger in the darkness....
"Seductive Shadows" (Book One)
Charlie is a sensually-inspired art student, desperately seeking an escape from
the abusive past that haunts her and a tragic accident that emptied her heart.
Scarred and unable to love, her yearning for physical pleasure leads her into a
tantalizing, dangerous world of power and seduction. The anonymity of the deal
offers security; the money brings financial freedom and the madam is the mother
figure she longs for.
But the thrill of the mansion and its arousing dominance quickly fades when she
meets renowned-yet-mysterious Cameron Hardy, whose intense baby blue eyes send
a nervous flutter through her core. Cameron is sexy, and not in a subtle way.
He stimulates Charlie's art, her intellect and her desires. Just as he begins
to break through her emotional boundaries, she discovers a devastating
connection between her past and her scandalous work at the mansion, shattering
everything she thought to be true.
Provocative, intoxicating and erotic, Seductive Shadows is the unforgettable
tale of a young woman's self-discovery as she learns to forgive, to love and be
loved, and to find redemption amidst a remarkable journey that will captivate
your mind and stimulate your soul.
"Seductive Secrecy" (Book Two)
“We were two broken souls who had found each other in a world of shadows. We
were held together by a connection of secrets, dark and fearful and reluctant
to leave. Their depth was seductive and overwhelming, an endless ocean of black
that threatened to cover the brilliance we kept reaching for with each
other.”
With her art career flourishing and the mansion predators no longer a threat,
Charlie is creating a new life. Her desires have changed, and she has a chance
at a healthy, loving relationship with Cameron—if they can bury the memories
and doubts that plague them.
Can they overcome the destruction of their clouded pasts, or will the
revelation of more painful, shocking secrets pull them back into the shadows?
These books are for mature audiences. They contain explicit language and sexual
content.
Advance Praise
"From the first few pages, I was drawn into Charlie's story. Marni Mann created a character that is flawed yet desired; strong yet needs others to lean on; talented yet scared. This is a book that will draw you in, make you cry, make you angry, make you sad but will have you rooting for Charlie." - Wennie at I Heart Books
"A great story behind the title and the main reveal will leave you talking about it for days. When I found out what was going on my jaw hit the freaking floor. The author did an amazing job keeping me on edge and trying to figure out what was coming next." - Donna at My Sticky Pages
"It was dark and gritty, with a sensuality that demands you to keep reading. Mann slowly unfolds Charlies past and present making you feel her pain and numbness. Mann's writing is perfect! I found myself not wanting the story to end! I highly recommend this book!" - Ashley at Book Nerd
