Temptation Court

Engineering genius, billionaire icon, and consultant to kings, the gorgeous Cassian Court is a legend before he even steps foot on the remote island of Arcadia. But when Mishella Santelle locks eyes with him, she doesn't see that power-she sees the man behind it and the bruised soul hers has been destined for. But destiny isn't a luxury for a woman of the Arcadian court. When six months of Mishella's life are bargained to Cassian in a multimillion-dollar contract, she must learn the rules of a more ruthless kingdom: New York City. In this glamorous jungle, paths are harder to discern, enemies are more cleverly camouflaged…and passions are impossible to ignore. Mishella is increasingly drawn to the beautiful but bewildering Cassian. He connects to her soul, challenges her mind, and awakens her body in ways she's never dreamed. But Mishella fears for her heart and doubts the ghosts from Cassian's past will ever free him to return her love. Unless she can prove the impossible… That their love is worth fighting for.

With their attraction too explosive to ignore, Cassian Court has whisked Mishella Santelle from her tiny island kingdom to the empire he rules: New York City. Here, they have succumbed to the magic of Temptation Manor, surrendering to their lust and a love that won't be denied. But happiness is nearly ripped away when an act of heroism turns Cassian into a target of violence...from which physical recovery is only the beginning of healing. Cassian must find a way to expose his emotional scars too, revisiting a past that refuses to release him from its haunting grip. The secrets of Turret Two hold the promise of clearing a path for a new connection with Mishella…or anchoring him deeper in the past. Just as Mishella decides she's had enough of being the city's perfect little toy as New York's fresh "it" couple, a shocking visitor changes everything. Now, faced with accepting an even more agonizing reality, Mishella learns deception isn't always black and white…and the prettiest toy sometimes hides the darkest secrets.

Cassian Court is the powerful, beautiful, sensual man who has changed Mishella Santelle's life with the world's most unconventional business contract-and captured her heart with a destiny neither of them can deny. But passion comes with a price. They've confronted demons, banished ghosts, faced fears, and dug to the deepest truths of their souls-but then fate delivers them a crushing new blow. When crisis strikes the Mediterranean island of Arcadia, Mishella is summoned back home. Things go from difficult to devastating when Arcadian court politics rev into high gear, setting up Cassian as the Judas responsible for the island's devastation, and giving Mishella an ultimatum: her country or her lover? The choice is as agonizing as the truths it both exposes and tests-putting Cassian and Mishella through their most brutal crucible yet.
