Welcome to Manhattan. Watch your step. This Halloween the supernatural is taking over the Big Apple.

Meet Viki Aragon and Carter Vaggio, two fascinating people with secrets and past pain.

Victoria ‘Viki’ Aragon comes from a wealthy family riddled with
secrets. After her sister’s death she’s all alone, except for Martha
Aragon, the evil and eccentric grandmother who has never considered
Viki family. The fates must love torturing her because if she is to
inherit her trust fund Viki has to live with her grandmother until her
next birthday. Luckily it’s only days away.

Viki isn’t your typical New York socialite. And while some would
spend her trust fun on clothes and shoes, Viki’s going to use it to
help victims of spousal abuse, a cause very close to her heart.

Carter Vaggio isn’t your typical artist. He’s extremely talented with
his hands… and a paintbrush. He also has plenty of secrets and
painful memories. Originally from Italy, he’s tall, dark and handsome
with green eyes that will melt you. Oh, and he can read minds so he
always knows what you want.

Just like my contemporary release in July(SLOW BURN from Cobblestone),
this is another “don’t judge a book by it’s cover” and “nothing is as
it seems” book.

As Halloween, and her birthday, approach Viki discovers that nothing
is what it seems. Especially the gorgeous man she meets at the
Masquerade Ball. When her grandmother sends Viki to have her portrait
painted, the Fates finally decide to play nice for a change. The
artist of her portrait turns out to be the mystery man from the ball,
Carter Vaggio, a man with a long and extraordinary past.

As Viki turns on the seduction, she finds herself in the midst of the
supernatural where myths are real and dreams do come true. But with
her greedy grandmother still meddling, will love be stronger than death?
Have you ever been to a Masquerade Ball? Open the pages of Portrait of Seduction and be swept up into a glittering room full of satin, sequins and feathers.

Viki is definitely stunning in her red Valentino gown.
