luna65 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Their love had to be a secret: Marina was the mistress of a powerful shipping magnate, presiding over a large country estate. Possessed of a sophisticated hauteur, women envied her and men desired her, world travelers eager to attend her entertainingly famous parties. But for all her privilege she lacked the one thing she craved and pined for. Then Marcus, the lowly groundskeeper, his bold touch stirred within her the greatest passion she’d ever known, his powerful body seducing her and his primal lust keeping her enthralled. Such emotion is never a secret for long, of course, so how could they keep their passionate whispers from becoming the ringing cries of devotion? A delicate drift of perfumey scent, caressing one's senses with a sheer breath of femininity…a bouquet of dried woods – birch, oak, cedar and sandalwood – is enhanced with lovely soft amber and sheer musk, a powdery waft of dry vanilla, adorned with hibiscus and Madonna lily, then the crystalline sparkle of tiny accents of raspberry and pineapple.
