About this ebook

Two billionaire tycoons.  One murder.  An arranged relationship gone wrong.  And a bribe meant to fix a mistake...but it turns into the most powerful love in the family’s history. 

 

On the outside, it looks like Malcolm takes me for a fool, but I know better.  Being an engineer, you learn how things tick, including people.  And while he tries to convince himself that he doesn’t like me, there are...things that tell me otherwise.  Sure, he’s as sexy as hell, and he doesn’t even know it.  And that’s half the problem.  The other problem is that I like him, too.  But when tragedy strikes and Malcolm is muscled into something, the last thing either of us needs is each other.  And then his past life comes back to haunt him.  Luckily, I have a few tricks up my sleeve to get him off the hook... 

 

*** 

 

One Word:  crazy.  Steph is nuts.  One minute she’s got eyes for me, the next those eyes are daggers.  Then she finds out something about me, and try as she might, she can’t stay away.  Curiosity killed the cat, as they say, and that’s nearly what happened.  If it wasn’t for my Uncle Dougall wanting things for me that I don’t want, the answer would be much easier.  But when Steph learns about the cruel arrangement, she finds a way to help me.  All this while a killer looms in the family.  All this while one of the most powerful storms in history hits our state.  All this while Steph makes more sacrifices that risk everything.  And then she does something that answers everything...an eye for an eye...

This is Malcolm Harris' story. It's full of fierce push and pull with strong emotions from both sides. Stephanie is a self-made success story and lothes the idea of needing, shoot - even really wanting "A" man. The stubborn determination clearly demonstrated by both parties seems to make them a perfect match, if they could co-exist for 5 minutes without arguing. Cue the most perfectly played forced proximity situation of recent history. Still...

Tempted is Book 5 of the Harris Brothers series. It's a steamy, frenemies-to-lovers, forced-proximity, romantic suspense. This is Malcolm and Steph's story. We pick up after book 4 when Steph's grandma is found dead on the nursing home. These two work together but fight each other every step of the way. The snarky banter was funny, the chemistry was hot, and the ending was happy in this roller-coaster ride. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily reviewing.

About the Author

Sandra has been writing poems and short stories since middle school, and writing full length, self-published novels since 2010, using several pen names.

Writing full-length steamy romance series has quickly become a love for this author. Her stories have elements of humor, family issues, suspense and personal growth. Her books take the reader right into the bedroom with the characters to feel the same intensity as the lovers do in the story. Sandra’s goal is to have the reader rooting for the main couple…and she doesn’t disappoint.

You'll find this author working out weekday mornings at ungodly hours. She’s gluten and dairy free, and is probably the only person on earth who doesn’t do coffee or chocolate.

Her favorite movie is Bohemian Rhapsody, her favorite tv shows are Friends and The Connors. She’s also a die-hard Rocky fan and has read the Fifty Shades trilogy and watched the movies more times than she cares to admit.

Sandra is married with two daughters and is a lover of all things four-legged, including her own two furbabies.

The Ford Brothers series focuses on five swoon-worthy brothers who each served in the military, and lost their billionaire father suddenly, which left them to run his airline after his death. Each book features one brother, but they make appearances in all five novels. In case you haven’t guessed, the titles in the Ford Brothers series have been inspired by hazard warning signs, an idea the author came up with after completing a health and safety course prior to starting the series.

The Miles for Love series is about unexpected love, and it features the Lynch family; four brothers and one sister, who are each passionate, imperfect, and are just like you and I...but way sexier and with much more interesting lives. They are very individual and each have a unique story to tell.

The rock star romances are inspired by the death of Eddie Van Halen on October 6, 2020.
