SO TEMPTING
(Originally published under the title Surrender)
A mesmerizing, wealthy recluse...a rookie detective who can't afford to trust him...temptation beyond measure...
Rookie detective Jace Carroll's first case plunges her into a tangle of deadly secrets and a decades-old feud. At the center of the puzzle is the enigmatic and mesmerizing Dante Sabanne, a sexy, powerful, wealthy recluse whose expertise in ancient poisons and exotic sexual practices makes him by turns a crucial expert witness, a devastating lover...and possibly the man behind a cult whose rituals have turned from depraved to deadly.
Jace's devotion to the law and her stubborn refusal to back off from duty makes her the last temptation on earth Dante can afford to indulge when he is conducting a secret battle against a foe intent on destroying everyone important to him, a battle she can only complicate.
Every encounter between them ratchets up the stakes and the explosive chemistry between them only flares hotter—but the consequences could be deadly if she makes the wrong choice between the evidence before her eyes…and the yearnings of a heart she is no longer sure she can trust.
