The Mysterious One by Marni Mann is now live!
A spicy grumpy-sunshine, age-gap, close-proximity romance from USA Today best-selling author Marni Mann …
I’m the mysterious one. The angriest alphahole who never bends. And she’s the woman who will bring me to my knees.
As the executive chef and face of my family’s billion-dollar empire, time is the one luxury I don’t have. With endless responsibilities and nonstop demands, I lost my passion and love for the art of cooking. What used to be my dream job is now my worst nightmare. I was ready to walk away and give up everything we’d built …
Until Alivia happened.
She was supposed to be a temporary diversion so we could satisfy each other’s desires and then never see each other again …
Yet I knew she was different right away. A woman who was my complete opposite, the calm to my storm. The sunshine to my darkness. With a body that left me speechless.
What I didn’t see was how much we both craved a break.
Me from a career that would eventually kill me, her from an abusive home life.
When two people in pain connect, an explosion erupts. That was us. All fire and longing, mixed with a genuine need to seek shelter in one another’s arms.
While I’m still savoring the taste of her on my lips, I see her again unexpectedly and wonder … is our connection enough to surpass the secrets between us, or were we only meant to have those two nights together?

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 5 Stars
The Mysterious One is Walker Weston’s book, the executive chef in the Weston Group restaurants, and is a sizzling age-gap, forbidden romance.
Suffering from serious burnout, Walker has completely lost his passion for cooking, so his sister Eden sends him off on a staycation at a hotel and makes him install a hookup app. Meanwhile, Alivia needs an escape from her brutal home environment, where she lives with her alcoholic mom and stepdad. Getting matched on the app gives both Alivia and Walker a perfect escape. There’s an insane connection between them and off-the-chart chemistry, but after their time together, they part ways. never having exchanged their actual names. So it’s a shock to both of them when he returns to the restaurant and Alivia is Charred’s newest employee.
Although they both try to fight the connection between them, Alivia soon becomes the only thing Walker looks forward to about being at work. As their bond deepens and they begin a secret relationship, Walker rediscovers his passion for cooking as his love for Alivia grows.
My heart broke for Alivia and all that she had to put up with at home, but I was so happy to see that Walker provided her a safe place to land. Not just emotionally, but a physical environment, as well. He gave her the space and means to pursue her dreams, and I loved what they built together.
This was a lovely addition to The Weston Group series! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
