Wrapped
Manhattan Bound Series Book Two
By Juliet Braddock
Sweeping through the
glitz and glamour of New York’s high society and the drama unfolding in the
dressing rooms of Broadway, WRAPPED, by Juliet Braddock, continues the journey
of a young theatrical publicist’s foray into submission under the tutelage of a
dashingly dark star of the stage. WRAPPED —the much anticipated sequel to
Braddock’s critically acclaimed erotic romance WEAKENED—is the second book in
The Manhattan Bound Series.
When Drew McKenzie
presents Maxine Kirk with an ultimatum, challenging her to engage in his wanton
brand of desire, she readily embraces her awakening hunger for a lifestyle that
defies her perceptions of romance.
Entranced by Drew’s
charming appeal and by his sensual assault to her senses, Maxine clamors to
discover every nuance of this new relationship, ravenous to explore verboten
fantasies that seem possible to fulfill only with Drew.
Along the way,
he introduces her to his glamorous world of wealth and celebrity—where lavish
galas and luxurious gifts are the norm—and entices her into his realm of
control with his tender mode of domination.
All the while,
however, they both grapple with painful emotions brought about by the
extenuating circumstances of their separate pasts.
While Drew remains
both confident and conscientious in his parlay of power over Maxine, his own
tragic secret lurks in every shadow upon his path in life. Behind the façade of
his stage persona and the origin of old Manhattan society, he struggles to hide
the unforgiving reality he faced as a child.
Just as Maxine finds the strength to conquer
her own torment with Drew’s patience and guidance leading her toward closure,
terrifying truths begin to chip away at the surface of his composure.
As the
nightmarish details of Drew’s unimaginable life emerge, he fears that this new
world he’d begun to build with Maxine will crumble around him.
As Maxine finds
herself embroiled in the battle to save Drew’s tortured soul from the
atrocities that continue to stalk his every move, two lost souls struggling to
find comfort and completion converge.
However, as Drew opens
his heart to Maxine’s unwavering support, he questions his own bravery,
wondering if she’ll take a bow and make her exit…or if she’ll stick around for
the encore?
WRAPPED, the second novel in Juliet Braddock’s “Manhattan Bound”
series of four books, is available on Amazon for $2.99 USD.

Meet the Author
Juliet Braddock’s first efforts in creative
writing came long before she learned to put crayon to paper. In fact, she began
spinning stories in her head nearly as soon as she could form complete
sentences. As long as she can remember, she’d always created sagas about
imaginary friends, family members and pop culture icons, and kept everyone around
her entertained with her witty—but often very tall—tales.
For her sixth
Christmas, Juliet’s mother got her a child’s typewriter to preserve all of
those creative thoughts filling her head, but she quickly switched to ball
point pens and notebooks when the ribbon ran dry.
Most of Juliet’s early
attempts at writing romance focused on members of Duran Duran and Spandau
Ballet or young leading men on Broadway. However, as she matured as a writer,
she decided that it was just as much fun to create her own romantic heroes and
heroines.
At an early age, she
also developed a love for big cities, and the tallest of skyscrapers were never
high enough for her. Juliet’s wanderlust would eventually lure her to New York,
a city she often visited during her formative years, and her love affair with
Manhattan began. She’d promised herself that one day she would return for good.
Juliet’s passion for
writing and for big cities converged, and after graduating with a degree in
Journalism, she decided to set out on a journey to find her heart…just where
she’d left it.
A week after her
college graduation, Juliet made the big move from a small town to New York
City, where she has made her home ever since.
In between building a
career in communications and writing on the side, she’s indulged in
international travel, theater and art. A wine and food buff, she’s by no means
a connoisseur, but she can give a few good restaurant recommendations if you’re
in the city.
“There’s something so
inspiring about living in a city like New York that’s so rich in culture and so
very vibrant. Every neighborhood has its own story to tell,” Juliet says. “I
often do my best plotting on the subway, just observing the lives unfolding
around me. New York truly has a billion stories nestled between the skyscrapers.”
A proud Manhattanite,
Juliet couldn’t live anywhere else—except for Paris, perhaps—and is a gushing
cat-mom to a Russian Blue mix who was rescued as a kitten from the streets of
Brooklyn.
