Synopsis
Some
secrets should never be kept…
Growing
up in the servants’ quarters at Haven Hill, Claire Brown was a poor outcast,
living in a world of money and privilege. Her only solace was best friend,
Alice Sinclair, and secret desire, Jackson Montgomery. Rich and connected, they
were perfect in every way and perfect for each other.
Still,
Claire was foolish enough to fall in love with Jackson, and desperate enough to
hide it. When Alice found out, there was a terrible accident that left her in a
coma. Jackson disappeared, leaving New Haven without even saying good-bye.
Ten
years later, Claire has managed to build a life without them. So when Jackson
calls out of nowhere to say Alice is awake, Claire’s first thought is Thank
God. Her second? I’m screwed. Lusting after Jackson destroyed her. It’s nothing
compared to what she’s hiding now.
But
nothing stays hidden forever.
Reawakened
Secrets is part one of Jackson and Claire’s story.
Part
2, Reawakened Sins and Part 3, Reawakened Seduction will be released early next
year. To be the first to get information on deals, teasers, excerpts,

Excerpt
Jackson
stood several feet away, staring out the window next to the only stairwell and
elevator on this floor. He was dressed in tailored slacks and a collared shirt,
the perfect hue of blue to highlight his turquoise eyes. His hands were in his
pockets, and he seemed to be lost in thought.
I
took advantage of his preoccupation and filled my senses with the sight of him.
Jackson had grown into manhood remarkably well. His shirt did nothing to hide
the broad, muscled shoulders beneath it. His angular jaw line no longer looked
out of place and now sported a few days of stubble. And holy shit, Jackson
Montgomery had sex hair, spiked in abandoned disarray. The kind you imagined
grabbing while he whispered naughty things in your ear and backed them up by
making your entire body shake. And it seemed, I wasn’t alone in my admiration.
Two nurses at the other end of the hallway ogled him with obvious appreciation.
He was oblivious to us all.
Shaken
by how fast I’d forgotten my reasons for loathing Jackson Montgomery, my steps
faltered. Self-disgust hardened my feelings for him and gave me the courage to
keep walking in his direction. Hoping for a quick retreat, I forced myself to
move faster toward the elevator.
Looking
up, his eyes flashed to my face, and his mouth quirked in a familiar smile more
aptly described as a smirk. This was an expression I remembered seeing many
times. But was he ever this sexy before?
Regardless
of my resolve, my breath caught in my chest. “Hello, Jackson.” Embarrassed by
the slight tremble in my voice, I paused in front of the elevators, keeping a
respectable distance between us.

AUTHOR BIO
My
name is Mari Denae.
I am
a married mother of three and publishing my first novel is a dream come true.
As the nerd that went to bed with a flash light to read the books I swiped from
my mom’s room, I have always been an avid book lover. My favorites are hot,
alpha male heroes (think Kristen Ashley), suspenseful, romantic thrillers
(think Sandra Brown) and poignant, sweet love stories (think Abbi Glines or
Colleen Hoover). My plan was always to be a writer of some sort, but somehow
real life responsibilities got in the way. Now, I am an accountant with a night
time writing obsession.
One
Saturday afternoon, I took my girls to see the latest teenage movie. Four days
later, I had read all four Twilight books. I was inspired by the innocent
romance and ‘Edward Cullen’ (don’t judge). Once I found my way to Fifty Shades
of Grey, I was a complete goner. All my spare time was spent reading, writing
or blogging. After version one million, five hundred and fifty five of my
series Reawakened, I’m finally ready to share it and hope that someone enjoys
reading the story as much as I have enjoyed writing it. This one’s for my
mother. I hope she’s looking down proud because I finally finished what I
started.
