THE TEMPTATION OF YOUR TOUCH is a seductive mystery. Author
Teresa Medeiros strays from her more lighthearted novels to
provide readers with a sultry gothic tale reminiscent of
what her heroines might be reading themselves. The handsome
and brooding Max captured my heart and made me ache for him
to forgive himself and find his own happily ever after.
The mystery of who Anne is and what motivates her to drive
away the owners of Cadgwyck Manor was a surprise to this
reader right up until the end. The mystery of The White
Lady o' Cadgwyck Manor provided plenty of spine-tingly
moments throughout THE TEMPATION OF YOUR TOUCH, which
thrilled and chilled this reader keeping her on the edge of
her seat holding her breath in anticipation of what to
expect next.
A new enchanting historical romance from a “superb storyteller” (Booklist)
and New York Times bestselling author featuring a handsome, brooding
Earl who finds himself drawn to his prim and proper
housekeeper.Maximillian Burke has always prided himself on being the
man every mother would want her daughter to marry. But after his
scoundrel of a brother makes off with Max’s bride, Max discovers it’s more
satisfying to be a rogue than the perfect gentleman. Forced to flee London
after a duel gone wrong, he seeks refuge at Cadgwyck Manor on the lonely
coast of Cornwall, a place as wild and savage as his current temper. The
tumbledown manor comes complete with its own ghost but oddly enough,
it’s not the White Lady of Cadgwyck who haunts Max’s heated dreams—
but his no-nonsense housekeeper. The last thing housekeeper Anne
Spencer needs is a new master, especially one as brooding and gorgeous
as the Earl of Dravenwood. Even as she schemes to be rid of her new
employer, she finds herself irresistibly drawn into his strong, muscular
arms. When Max vows to solve the mystery of Cadgwyck’s ghost, he
doesn’t realize it will put both of their hearts at risk and tempt them to
surrender to a pleasure as delicious as it is dangerous.
