About this eBook

CRUCIAL NOTE TO SELF:

I, Holly Henderson, with a mind still sound, must document this before I lose every ounce of judgment and reality.

Indeed, I received an exclusive invitation to Blackstone Manor from a mysterious college roommate who vanished from my life many years ago. 

Indeed, upon arrival, I was met with the cold indifference of her older brother, Jasper. 

Indeed, with just one look, an undeniable magnetic spark ignited between us—a temptation I know I should and will ignore.

Yet, within the dark walls of the manor, secrets lurk around every corner. The servants divert their eyes, and the very shadows seem to whisper of hidden truths.

But...

Forgive me, for I have not been the same since last night. In the darkness, he called my name, and I let him into my bed. However, if he believes this will deter me from uncovering the dark secrets that are kept within Blackstone Manor, he is gravely mistaken.

"Intrigued" is a scintillating, suspenseful, dark romance skillfully woven with heart-pounding twists, unyielding desire, and a mansion concealing more secrets than guests. Immerse yourself in a world where each turn of the page reveals fresh betrayals, hidden truths, and a love so intense it could either make or break everything.

Ratings and reviews

I enjoyed reading this book. In my opinion it is an entertaining, light read. Well written and the plot is good. The ending does want me to continue on to the next book in the series. There is a lot of mature content - at times a bit redundant - which is sexually explicit but not offensive or weird. If you're looking to read this type of novel then I recommend.

I'm not quite sure why it was labelled romance or why the blurb mentioned from hate to love. it is neither. Sex by itself is not love. The main relationship was too unhealthy, borderline abusive to be anything else. There was no hate. Much like the theme of the book, my reading this was a bad choice.

I'm not sure how I feel about this book. I can tell the author is great but the story got so confusing at times. I'm left with so many questions. Even though it was all over the place it was written well. Guess I have to continue the series to see if my questions will be answered.

About the author

Z.L. Arkadie keeps her billionaire romance spicy, intense, and emotional. She loves writing trilogies and duets connected by siblings of a mysterious family with secrets to hide. But she'll also write standalone romance books. No matter what type of series she's crafting, Z.L. feels it's her job to keep you on the edge of your seat, engaged in her stories until the very end. You'll see billionaire romance tropes like enemies to lovers, best friend's brother, and second chance romance when Z.L. Arkadie is writing the story.
