The Mysterious One by Marni Mann is now live!
A spicy grumpy-sunshine, age-gap, close-proximity romance from USA Today best-selling author Marni Mann …
I’m the mysterious one. The angriest alphahole who never bends. And she’s the woman who will bring me to my knees.
As the executive chef and face of my family’s billion-dollar empire, time is the one luxury I don’t have. With endless responsibilities and nonstop demands, I lost my passion and love for the art of cooking. What used to be my dream job is now my worst nightmare. I was ready to walk away and give up everything we’d built …
Until Alivia happened.
She was supposed to be a temporary diversion so we could satisfy each other’s desires and then never see each other again …
Yet I knew she was different right away. A woman who was my complete opposite, the calm to my storm. The sunshine to my darkness. With a body that left me speechless.
What I didn’t see was how much we both craved a break.
Me from a career that would eventually kill me, her from an abusive home life.
When two people in pain connect, an explosion erupts. That was us. All fire and longing, mixed with a genuine need to seek shelter in one another’s arms.
While I’m still savoring the taste of her on my lips, I see her again unexpectedly and wonder … is our connection enough to surpass the secrets between us, or were we only meant to have those two nights together?

🍽️Review🍽️
Weston used to love cooking, but that love has turned into a chore, and he feels weighted down by responsibilities and doesn’t handle the stress in the best way. Knowing that something needs to change he decides to get away from everything and everyone for a week and connects with a woman on a dating app. The chemistry between them is electric and when it is time to return to his life he didn’t think their paths would cross again but fate had other plans.
Alivia refuses to let the challenges of her life define her however she is beginning to feel that nothing will change despite her best efforts. Meeting Weston on the app allows her to get a break from her regular life but the only thing she expects is a connection and some fun and then they will go their separate ways however some things are just meant to be.
The physical connection between Weston and Alivia is off the charts but the emotional connection is even stronger. They are both going through a difficult time, but not only do they find a kindred soul in each other but they help each find their light and hope for the future.
