Charlie is a passionate,
sensually inspired art student, desperately seeking an escape from an abusive
past that haunts her and a tragic accident that emptied her heart. Scarred and
unable to love, her yearning for physical pleasure and contact leads her into a
tantalizing, dangerous world of power and seduction. The anonymity of the deal
offers security, the money provides financial freedom, and the madam’s
authority is the mother figure she longs for.
But the thrill of the mansion
and its arousing dominance quickly fades when she meets the renowned yet
mysterious Cameron Hardy, whose intense, baby blue eyes send a nervous flutter
through her core. He’s sexy, and not in a subtle way. Cameron stimulates her
art, intellect and desires. Just as he begins to break through her emotional
boundaries, Charlie 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
discovery as she learns to forgive, to love and be loved, and to find
redemption amidst a memorable journey that will captivate your mind and
stimulate your soul.

Excerpt:
I
wasn’t a prostitute. I was an artist who used her fingers to paint a fantasy
and her body fulfilled it. The muse, or the canvas, but always the artist. And
when I was desired by men was when I felt the most creative.
Just
because I was hired to provide pleasure, didn’t mean I couldn’t enjoy every
moment of passion and every uninhibited deviant thought. I was turned on by the
cameras that would point toward my bed, the lust that would be whispered in my
ears, and playing out the fantasy that I would compose. Not knowing
anything about these men, what the top half of their faces looked like, their
names, meant they also knew nothing about me. I would never have to discuss my
past or the accident; the only thing I would have to unzip would be my
lingerie. I would have enough money to pay off my mother’s debt in a
reasonable amount of time and take more than one class a semester. The
arrangement was perfect.
But
then I met Cameron. With icy, baby blue eyes so intense...he was sexy, and not
in a subtle way. Bold and confident, he inspired my art and challenged my
emotions and, for the first time since the accident, I felt a strong
connection to another person.
I
had a burning desire to trust Cameron, to escape the dark life I had been
leading and reveal to him the wounds of my soul…until I discovered a
devastating connection between my past and the mansion. And in the midst of all
the truth I uncovered, I learned my life was in imminent danger....
