ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 4, 2025

He’s a grumpy single dad who’s serious and uptight.
She’s a younger free spirit who’s sunshine and light.

Fallon Sterling’s one experience with a rich, older man ended in heartbreak. So when twin nine-year-old girls wind up in her gallery, followed by their oh-so-hot dad, she refuses to notice how sexy he is. And she will not let herself fall for his broody charms. Or his adorable daughters. That was her plan. Unfortunately, planning hasn’t always been her strong suit…

Noah Powers needs a reliable nanny, not a romance with a much younger artist who his girls adore. The fact that he desires Fallon and the sunshine she brings into his drab world doesn’t matter. His focus needs to be on his work and his daughters. Trouble is, he can never remember that when Fallon is in his arms.

Somewhere between a matchmaking family (his) and dangerous workplace drama (hers), Fallon and Noah realize they might have more in common than they thought. But is it enough for happily ever after?

Noah Powers is struggling to find a capable nanny to look after his rambunctious nine year old twin daughters but never expected the current nanny to lose his daughters at the park. A phone call from a stranger finds his daughters at a local art gallery where Noah will meet his future in the guise of gallery assistant and artist Fallon Sterling. From the outset, Noah’s daughters play at uniting their father with our story line heroine until one night together finds our couple falling for one another but all is not well at the gallery where Fallon works, the owner is struggling with a series of illnesses, and a fire threatens to destroy them all.

Noah likes something he sees in Fallon Sterling, but Fallon has been betrayed in the past, and struggles with issues of trust, especially with a man eleven years older. The $ex scenes are intimate and provocative without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is something developing between Charlotte and Jared.

JUST ONE MORE TEMPTATION is a story of family and friendships, betrayal and greed, acceptance and love. The character driven premise is exciting and entertaining but predictable; the romance is passionate; the characters are determined and lively.
