Sweet Temptation

Sweet Temptation
Lauren Hawkeye

“There was a spark the first time we met. ” But one is never be enough… Meg Marchande and John Brooke have mind-numbing chemistry. In the real world, their timing has never been right. Travelling for his powerful career, John can’t envision a traditional relationship. Focused on her burgeoning career, Meg doesn’t imagine a happily-ever-after. Set on their paths yet helplessly drawn to one another, they know that passion waits for no one. But what about love?

“Once won’t be enough to get this out of our systems.”

A tale of out-of-control chemistry from New York Times bestselling author Lauren Hawkeye.

From the moment they met, Meg Marchande and John Brooke have had the kind of chemistry you bow down to, give thanks for and find the nearest bed to release. Despite a magnetic attraction, their timing has never been right. But passion waits for no one.

Moving from city to city for his powerful career, John doesn’t see himself in a traditional relationship. Still, he can’t get Meg out of his mind. Meg is more than happy to meet up with him for increasingly erotic encounters, but she doesn’t let herself think about a happily-ever-after. After all, her business means she has to stay, and his means he has to go. She doesn’t want to give up the things she’s fought for any more than John does.

With both of them set on their own paths yet helplessly drawn to one another, they must discover whether love is enough. Or is their relationship doomed to never be about more than sex?
