A bike messenger in Manhattan finds her life has changed when two bank directors decide she fits the conditions to be partner to them. Mari doesn't have to choose between Ethan and Gabriel, but if she chooses both she will be letting herself in for more than she realises in this adult romance.
MARRYING MARI introduces a 400-year old family/business organisation, called The Colony. In keeping with the rules from their past, the two men in their early thirties need to marry soon and one woman between two men is the acceptable form of mating. Sadly it otherwise is a bundle of stereotypes, from the vastly wealthy background of the men - no Depression or Wall Street crash - to the lavish clothes and jewels they buy for the unspoilt girl and the formal ball she is required to attend at the Colony. Mari is the daughter of a woman who ran away from the Colony so she may be acceptable to the seniors there - or not. Their talk of "keeping the bloodlines clean, unquestioned" sounds unpleasantly right-wing and likely to lead to serious inbreeding. But luckily for Mari, the two men are very good- looking, so that's all right then.
Skipping over the concerns, we do meet an engaging heroine in Mari. She is working a demanding job to earn enough to continue with her studies, taking semesters towards med school as she can afford them and renting an apartment in Hell's Kitchen. She is made uneasy by the sudden interest from two bank directors, and returns a large tip from them, though she takes no safety precautions when they insist she comes back to their apartment - never even phones a friend to say where she will be. She stands up to a snide matriarch and copes with a family occasion or a formal ball with equal aplomb. When rumours are spread to Ethan and Gabriel about her, she tells them the truth, then departs to let them decide who they want to believe. Overall she comes across as a very mature 23-year-old capable of making her own way in the world and enjoying her newfound sexuality.
Enjoy MARRYING MARI as a fantasy romance between three interesting people, with several steamy scenes and lively nightlife.
She is the one woman they both need. If they can catch her.
Ethan Stone and Gabriel Pryor are successful, wealthy,
handsomeβand single. But not for long. As Colony
descendants, they are required to form a mated triad with a
woman with Colony bloodlinesβor theyβll be forced to do the
unthinkable. Move back inside the communityβs walls and
accept whomever the elders choose.
When their hired P.I. comes through with a candidate,
theyβre both relievedβand in a rush to close the deal.
Except their chosen ladyβs bloodline comes with a streak of
independence as quicksilver fast as her bike messenger pedals.
Ordinarily, a big tip and amorous note wouldnβt impress
Mariella Amorini, but thereβs something that draws her to
the two men she canβt explain. The shocking truth of her
heritage sends her reelingβstraight into the safe harbor of
Ethan and Gabrielβs bed.
The sense of belonging is warm, and the sex is hot, but as
more truths become entangled with lies, itβs clear someone
from The Colony isnβt the least bit interested in the
threesomeβs long-term happiness. And itβll take revealing
their deepest vulnerabilities to forge a bond strong enough
to endure the test.
Warning: Two alpha males looking for their mate. One sassy
bike messenger whoβs not entirely certain she fits the
description. Seduction tactics include wine, dessert, Cary
Grant movies, heartfelt confession, laughter, kissing, and
sex. Lots of really hot sex.
