      Her greatest temptation...

      As far as Harper Riley is concerned, attraction can’t be trusted. Money, on the other hand, lasts forever. Which is why Harper’s on a singles cruise for her latest target: a wealthy widower who might just need a new wife. So why can’t she keep her eyes—or her dirty thoughts—off the ruggedly hot guy in the room next to hers?

      Of course, the charming ones are always broke, and Teagan Carmichael is both ridiculously charming and inexcusably broke. Worse still, there’s some serious heat sizzling between them. But Harper has too much riding on this trip to have her head turned by Mr. Deliciously-Sexy-But-Poor. She already knows that giving in to a little temptation can turn into a whole lot of trouble...

      “You stood me up.”

      “I never agreed to a date. You shouldn’t make assumptions,” Harper said.

      Teagan chuckled, taking careful note of how a subtle shiver rocked her body. “Caught a chill?” he teased, knowing full well it wasn’t a chill that caused her to shake. “Lucky for you, all’s well that ends well. I have an open spot at my table for you.”

      Teagan released her and moved in front, daring her to turn him down.

      She met his gaze with a subtle smile playing on her lips. “Maybe I’m already meeting someone.”

      “You are. Me.”

      “Not you,” she said with a small laugh. “Someone else.”

      “Impossible.”

      “Your ego is quite healthy, isn’t it?”

      “So is my libido.”

      Color flushed her cheeks a pretty pink. “What makes you think I’m interested in you like that?”

      Teagan reached over to lightly caress the goose bumps still rioting on her arm. “Because your body tells me so.”

      Dear Reader,

      I love witty banter. If a scene between characters can make me laugh, I know it’s a keeper. But even better than creating winning banter is a story that can make me laugh and cry—now, that’s a real success.

      I confess, I did cry at the end of this story. Hot, sexy, emotional, funny...Tempted is the entire package and I hope you agree.

      I won’t lie—I struggled with this book. Not because I didn’t love the story or the characters but because I wanted to do them justice. I wanted to ensure that my readers experienced the full gamut of emotion that happens between two stubborn people who are determined to have their own way but ultimately realize that sometimes when you win, you lose.

      Anyway, please enjoy and if you did, tell a friend! Or drop me a line and tell me what you thought.

      I love hearing from readers. Connect with me on Facebook, Twitter or drop me an email. Or you can also write me a letter at PO BOX 2210, Oakdale, CA 95361.
