Tempted at Every Turn

Book 3: Ladies' Amateur Sleuth Society Series

About the Book

Proper, sensible Willow Mabson will do anything to protect her family. So when Willow finds out that James Sterling – a dashing, arrogant aristocrat working for Scotland Yard – suspects her mother in a recent murder, Willow will do whatever’s necessary … even solve the case herself! Of course, this will bring her into a most uncomfortable proximity with the very tantalizing Mister Sterling. And try as she might she finds resisting him her most difficult challenge.

James has always preferred gritty crime scenes to elegant balls. And he can immediately deduce that straight-laced, whip-smart – and exceedingly delectable – Willow isn’t your average vapid, shallow socialite. He longs to help release her carefully restrained sensuality and rid her of the belief that losing control can destroy her. But James doesn’t count on losing his own heart in the process.
