Manipulator

By Jen Bradlee

Addison comes from a long line of villains, but her ability to manipulate fat earned her nothing but laughter and shame. Proving her power could be used for evil only lands her in hot water, and in a fit of defiance, she accidentally reveals her powers. But not just to anyone...to Ben, the one person Addison wants more than her family's acceptance.

Ben enjoys his mundane life serving drinks at the small pub he's owned for years as well as Addison's company. When he discovers her powers with humorous results, he soothes her concern by imparting his own well-kept secret. Neither could have seen the disaster looming over such a revelation. Time is running out, and both must make sacrifices to stay together...and remain alive.

Jen Bradlee

Jen Bradlee is the alter ego of author Kirsten S. Blacketer.  Jen Bradlee can get away with murder, metaphorically speaking of course. She enjoys people watching, belly dancing, and taking walks in the rain. Give her a man who isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty and plays hard. The ones with rough edges and a little scruff are the best. Comes with a warning label. “Too hot to handle.” Inspired by Tom Hiddleston and Benedict Cumberbatch, she creates characters who have multiple facets to them. The gentleman in the streets but with a wild, dangerous side behind closed doors. She loves villains and anti-heroes, bad boys and irredeemable men. We all have a dark side. Sometimes it must be freed.
