Eerie Take

Read Salt Kiss first. This very explicit, emotionally punishing middle installment deepens the three-way relationship and the espionage plot, then leaves both in crisis. Continue with Bitter Burn for the resolution.

Isolde Laurence enters her marriage to Mark Trevena with a mission she cannot share and feelings she cannot control. Her husband offers a world of pleasure, power, and tightly guarded secrets, while his bodyguard, Tristan Thomas, is the one temptation she keeps returning to. As their tangled loyalties pull them closer, the work Isolde has hidden from both men threatens everything she wants to keep.
