SHIVER - BETWEEN AGONY AND ECSTASY
Shivers - Between Agony and Ecstasy is a hauntingly sensual dark romance that explores the fine line between desire and destruction.
Cassie Baker is a driven, thoughtful 25-year-old woman who finally escapes her past and moves from Portland to New York, determined to start fresh and live her dream of becoming a teacher. Independent but quietly vulnerable, Cassie wants nothing more than peace, stability, and a chance to rewrite her story near her older sister, Catherine.
But fate has other plans.
When she crosses paths with Edan Richards, a magnetic and enigmatic businessman with a dangerously composed exterior and eyes that seem to see right through her, everything begins to unravel. Edan is wealthy, powerful, and coldly detached-but something about Cassie's innocence and quiet strength unsettles him. And despite every effort to keep her at a distance, he finds himself drawn to her like a moth to flame.
Cassie is equally captivated. Edan's presence ignites something in her-curiosity, defiance, longing-and though she senses the darkness he tries to hide, she can't turn away. Their worlds are complete opposites: she comes from simplicity, while he lives in a world of luxury and shadows. He is guarded and emotionally restrained; she is open and searching for connection. Their personalities clash, their secrets fester-but their chemistry is undeniable.
What begins as an accidental encounter evolves into a dangerous game of push and pull. Passion quickly blurs into obsession, honesty dissolves into betrayal, and pleasure comes hand in hand with pain. In each other, they find both the deepest ecstasy and the sharpest agony.
As the past resurfaces and secrets begin to crack the fragile facade of their bond, Cassie and Edan are forced to confront the question neither of them dares to answer:
Is love enough to save them, or will it be the thing that destroys them both?
