Once again Ellen Ashe proves her merit as an author who writes passionate, dark stories with a shocking twist or two thrown in for good measure.

When Madeline’s beloved late Aunt Lucinda’s house is condemned, she makes one last journey there to say good bye. She has many cherished memories of this home away from home and is broken hearted over its pending destruction.

Upon arrival, Madeline meets Marcos, a sinfully seductive man who also has fond memories of Lucinda. Their chance meeting is a catalyst for sweeping Madeline into the past, where shocking secrets are revealed, and she and Marcos are pulled into the dark history of the house. Now Madeline must make a choice that will be the answer to her greatest fantasies… or her most abhorrent nightmares.

Dark, mysterious, and extremely sensual describes A Mistress for Marcos. Readers will not know what to expect from one page to the next as Madeline learns more about her aunt, and her own desires. Madeline has only the most innocent of recollections about the old house yet when she makes her final visit, she discovers far more than she ever expected.

There is so much mystique about the storyline that it is hard to describe what happens without giving away something crucial. So what else can I say about this enchanting tale? Only that you have to read it for yourself and prepare to be immersed in an erotic affair!
