Today I’m celebrating the release of TWICE THE TEMPTATION, the first book in The Temptress series, a series that continues where The Elusive Lord series left off. Catherine and Lucas finally get their story–and hopefully their HEA. 😉

kindle-fire-hd-8-9-4To celebrate, I’m holding the 2nd  of 3 contests where the grand prize is an iPad Air (the iPad Air will be raffled off once Twice the Temptation has sold 10,000 copies within 6 months). The prizes for this contest are:

  1.  $50 eGift Card and 2nd of 3 entries to win the iPad Air – First Prize
  2. $25 eGift Card – Second Prize
  3. $15 eGift Card – Third Prize

Alternate First Prize – Kindle Fire HD

Yes, someone can also win a Kindle Fire HD if Twice the Temptation receives 75 or more reviews on Amazon within the first week of release — so by midnight November 25.  If that goal is hit the winner will have a decision to make–take the first prize listed above or take the Kindle Fire HD. If winner chooses the Kindle Fire HD, the entry to win the iPad Air will go to the second prize winner. Yeah, it’s kind of like Let’s Make a Deal. 😉 Winners will be announced here November 26 — just in time for Thanksgiving. And if you missed you missed the book where Lucas and Catherine began, An Heir of Deception has been marked down from $4.99 to $3.99.

Gentlemen of the ton…prepared to be tempted

Temptation is as old as Adam and Eve. Unfortunately, succumbing to it is as natural as breathing to the gentlemen in the haut ton. For prospective brides bent on fidelity, three of the ton’s most ravishing beauties will help determine the faithful from the philanderers. What they hadn’t counted on was emotional entanglements…

A Temptress in Love

Catherine Rutherford has been smitten with the sinfully handsome American, Lucas Beaumont, since their introduction the year before. And he appears just as enamored of her, for following his return to London he launches a seductive campaign to ensnare her heart and capture her hand in marriage. Never has Catherine been so confident in the outcome of a courtship…that is until she discovers her would-be groom proposed marriage to her sister first.

Although she and her twin share the same face, Catherine refuses to share a man’s affections much less be any woman’s substitute. With the aid of her twin and two friends, she challenges the man she loves to the ultimate test of fidelity. Posing as her heartbroken sister—who is really anything but—Catherine seeks his solace from an “unhappy marriage” and begins a tempestuous game of seduction where the true proof of his love lies in his ability to resist her charms.

EXCERPT

Upon entrance to the library, Lucas closed the door. She moved out of his reach and turned to eye him directly, chin elevated. “You are behaving quite presumptuously.” She prayed the chill in her voice would mask her roiling emotions.

Lucas’s smile appeared like the languid stretch of a cat on a lazy Sunday afternoon. “I rather thought you liked my presumptuousness.” He made the word a potent caress. “At least it appeared that way on several occasions when I was last in England.”

Catherine did not accept embarrassment with the politesse of a lady–flushed cheeks and a timid smile most men found enchanting. Instead, her walls snapped up as she erected her defenses. “It is very rude of you to bring up the incident.”

His brows rose, his lips twitched and his hazel eyes held the promise of something terribly wicked. “The incident? I thought it was a kiss. And I recall there being more than one of such–” he cleared his throat “–incidents, as you say.”

Scorching degrees of heat burned her cheeks. “It was a mistake and I wish you wouldn’t speak of it again.”

“I did not mean to discomfit.” His voice was all feigned contriteness.

“Mr. Beaumont, you flatter yourself. You haven’t the power to discomfit me in the least.” She spoke with a bravado she did not feel nor was likely to be able to follow through on should she be put to the test. Lucas could discomfit her like no other man.

His gaze became hooded and when next he spoke, his voice seemed to have dropped an entire octave. “Am I to take that as a challenge, Miss Rutherford?”
