Shadow of a Man:
The
pursuit of love can sometimes be a matter of life and death…
Veronica
Level possesses the ability to read minds—but only during intense bouts of
danger. It is within these perilous situations that she encounters Christopher
Altman, a mysterious, centuries-old vigilante transformed into a dark,
enigmatic shadow, who has always been there to protect her.
Despite
the menacing circumstances surrounding their every encounter, neither Veronica
nor Christopher can deny their desire for one another, especially after
Veronica’s abilities show her the seductively handsome man hidden within the
mystifying shadow. But just how far will they have to go in order to break the
curse and be together without jeopardizing Veronica’s safety, or more
importantly, her life?
Excerpt:
Veronica
rolled over onto her back and stared up at the ceiling. Cold tears fell from
the corners of her eyes and slid down her temples, landing somewhere along her
hairline. She was exhausted. This situation with the dark shadow had completely
consumed her. As she struggled to release him from the evil curse, she’d fallen
behind on her magazine deadlines, stopped taking proper care of herself, and had
practically cut off all contact with her friends. Veronica knew that they were
worried about her, but there was no way she could share her ordeal with them.
She
closed her eyes and held her head in her hand despairingly, drifting off into a
deep slumber. Every muscle in her body slowly began to relax. She was overcome
with a sense of peace. Her mind entered a dreamlike state, and a tingling
sensation swept over her toes and the tops of her feet. The feeling slowly made
its way up Veronica’s calves, causing her to stir and moan softly. The touch of
gentle fingertips caressed every inch of her. Veronica’s taut nipples vibrated
while an intense desire ignited deep within her. She spread her legs, relishing
what she knew was her shadow’s presence.
And then, just when she felt an erect force press between her thighs, a loud
thud awakened her.
Veronica
sat straight up in bed, her breath short. She turned her ear toward the door.
There was complete silence. She sat still for a few moments, waiting to see if
there would be more noise. When there wasn’t, she assumed that her dog, Mona,
had knocked something over. She lay back down and closed her eyes, hoping that
her sweet dream would pick up right where it had left off.
But
then Veronica heard the wooden floor in her living room let out a long, shrill
creak. Mona’s tiny paws weren’t heavy enough to make that sort of sound. As her
dog gave a loud bark, Veronica’s mind began to buzz with someone else’s devious
thoughts...
‘Tis

steamy paranormal erotic romance, which is the first in its series. The second
installment, Shadow of a Man: The Curse

My
contemporary erotic romance, A Naughty
Jolly Christmas, is out now! It’s the first novella in my series, The Holiday Chronicles, and the follow
up, My Unconditional Valentine, will

Hello
everyone! My name is Denise, and I am a lover of romance, happy endings, and
the art of storytelling. I used to cry as a three-year old child when my mother
read to me because I so badly wanted to read the books myself! Once I learned, I
constantly had my nose in a novel (especially the ones I’d sneak from my mom’s
bookshelf). I’ve been writing for as long as I can remember and draw
inspiration from Chicago, the city where I was born and raised, as well as Los
Angeles, which is one of my favorite places in the world. I’ve published
several books and short stories, and I’m an avid
ghostwriter and editor. When I’m not sitting behind my computer, you can
find me in a movie theater, on a tennis court, watching true crime television or
chatting on social media.
Speaking
of social media, I’d love to connect with you! Here’s where you can find me:
