Shadows of Desire

Camille Trois, a 22-year-old literature student with a multicultural background, arrives in New York City on a scholarship to NYU, seeking to find herself and escape the push and pull of her French and Chilean roots. Little does she know that her journey of self-discovery is about to take a dangerous and seductive turn.

On her first night in the city, Camille meets the enigmatic Steve Carlson in a dimly lit bar. Their connection is instant and electric, but Camille soon discovers that Steve is more than just a handsome stranger - he's her new roommate's soon-to-be stepfather and a biology professor at NYU.

As Camille navigates her new life in New York, she finds herself increasingly drawn into the glamorous yet complicated world of the Carlson-Hawthorne family. Lily Hawthorne, a 42-year-old fashion mogul and Steve's fiancée, seems to have it all. But beneath the surface of their picture-perfect life, tensions simmer and secrets lurk.

Despite her best efforts to focus on her studies and support her roommate Michelle, Camille can't ignore the intense attraction between her and Steve. Their stolen glances and lingering touches threaten to evolve into something more, even as Camille grapples with the moral implications of pursuing a relationship with her roommate's stepfather-to-be.

"Shadows of Desire" is a steamy, suspenseful new adult romance that explores the blurred lines between right and wrong, the complexities of modern relationships, and the lengths we'll go to for love - even when it's forbidden.
