Seductive Shadows — Marni Mann

Charlie is a passionate, 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.

This book is for mature audiences. It contains explicit language and sexual content.

What reviewers are saying:"This story delves deeper into the main character's emotional and inner struggles and is much more than just another erotic book.  As a reader, you always try to guess what the secret is, or what's going to happen next, but with this one, I was wrong every time! Just when I thought she had me, Marni threw a curve ball that made my jaw drop. If you like to read books that have more complex issues then get ready for a hell of a ride." - Tiffany at Literati Literature Lovers

"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. I felt for her. I wanted her to succeed and I needed to know that the choices and decisions she would make would lead her to a better life. 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

"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! As the plot unfolds at the end, I found myself not wanting the story to end! I highly recommend this book!" - Ashley at Book Nerd

"Everyone knows that I am a lover of all things dark and edgy and Seductive Shadows is all of that and more - It's more than just er*tica and it's more than just suspense. There were so many twists and turns that I didn't see coming and Marni's poetic writing style made this a 5 olive read for me. It's both lush and austere, dark and blinding." - Autumn at Martini Times
