I really have loved reading the Corde Noire series and
couldn't wait to read Her Dark Past. Brynn and Declan's story had just the
right mix of sizzle and suspense. This mystery which I don't wait to give any
bit of away frames their scorching hot love story with some kink in the mix. I
mean erotica author with a cover model...what's not to love? I really was on
the edge of my seat until the very last page both with their steamy moments and
the mystery I couldn't wait to try and solve. I loved every bit of it.
I give Her Dark Past 4 hearts!
Brynn Adler is a writer with a unique ability—everywhere she
goes, images of the past haunt her.
After taking over the estate of her murdered ex-husband,
Nathan Cole, Brynn is at the center of a mystery. A mystery the ruthless
members of the Corde Noire Society want solved. Sent to discover Brynn’s
secret, Declan Corinth plans to arouse her former submissive ways. There’s just
one problem … he knows nothing about being a Dom. If Declan doesn’t get what
the Corde Noire requires, Brynn Adler could become its next victim. Can he win
her trust in time? The clock is ticking.
To uncover the past, embrace the darkness.
“She owns a bondage club in the Garden District.” Declan sat
back in his seat. “Your ex-husband was a frequent customer of hers. We met at
Mabel’s club.”
A cold realization settled over Brynn. Declan Corinth was a
player—a Dom. How else would he know about the bondage club Nathan had belonged
to, or be friends with Ren Plancharde? Feeling foolish, Brynn glanced at Bob,
still awaiting instructions behind the wheel.
“I should go. I’m keeping you from your meeting with Ren.”
“Nonsense.” Declan motioned for Bob to start the car. “I’ll
see you back to The Shallows. You shouldn’t be alone today.”
“You know where I live?”
“I heard you took over Nathan’s old penthouse.”
Brynn’s reservations mounted as the engine roared to life.
“No, Bob, wait,” she called. “Mr. Corinth was just leaving.”
The shock in Declan’s blue eyes was entertaining. She
suspected that, being a Dom, he wasn’t used to having a woman tell him what to
do.
With a curt nod, he reached for the car door and then
glanced back at her. “Can I ask you a question?”
His voice reminded her of a dark whiskey. Smooth, soulful,
and reaching down to her—
“Of course, Mr. Corinth.”
He shimmied closer to her. “It’s Declan, not Mr. Corinth.”
Her toes were tingling again. “What would you like to know?”
“How do you get ideas for your stories? They seem so real.”
Brynn shook her head, convinced that he was baiting her. If
he was an associate of Ren’s and knew Nathan, then he must have known of her
past.
“A writer never divulges where she gets her inspiration.”
Brynn smugly sat back in her seat. “Good evening, Mr. Corinth.”
The surly grin he gave her damn near knocked her to the car
floor. He was even more devastating when he was angry.
Declan shoved the card door open. As the sound of the rain
hitting the sidewalk drifted into the car, he said, “We’ll see each other
again, Ms. Adler.”
Brynn just smiled and waited for him to leave.
He bounded into the pouring rain and slammed the door closed.
Brynn sank into her cold leather seat as he jogged through the open gate and
into Ren’s pristine courtyard.
“No, we will not see each other again, Mr. Corinth.” She
rocked her head back and closed her eyes. “That would be very dangerous for
me.”
