Romance

Carson Adair didn't know he had a half-brother until his father was murdered. He met Ruby, his dad's first wife and the mother of Jackson Adair, at the reading of his father's will. Jackson had been kidnapped as an infant. That had been the downfall of the marriage and the reason Reginald Adair had become such a harsh man. He and Carson had butted heads all of Carson's life. That's the reason Carson went into the Marines. But now he is home, after a special ops mission went awry, and Carson was wounded too badly to return to active duty.

Georgia Mason, Ruby's step-daughter, comes to San Diego with Ruby to support her during this ordeal. Ruby is included in Reginald's will and receives a sizable inheritance. Ruby has talked all her life about how bad the Adairs were and turned Georgia against people who were wealthy. The Adairs' telecommunications company, AdAir Corp, is worth billions.

Several questions surround Reginald Adair's murder. His current wife, and mother of Carson and two other siblings, is suspected of the murder, but she's left the country. And now the question rises again as to who kidnapped Jackson and if he could still be alive. Georgia and Carson team up to find answers to these questions, but as they do, someone is determined to kill Carson as well. Is it related to Reginald's murder, or is it related to his failed special ops mission? Can Carson convince Georgia that all Adairs are not wealthy snobs?

Jennifer Morey brings us the first book in the new Adair Affairs series with A MARINE'S TEMPTATION, and introduces us to a plethora of characters for future installments. Carson and Georgia, our hero and heroine, are both strong characters and butt heads on numerous occasions. Yet there is a strong attraction between them that neither is sure they want to act upon. The plot moves at a very fast pace, and there never is a good stopping point for putting THE MARINE'S TEMPTATION down. You will be captured in this story right away and won't be able to get out. THE MARINE'S TEMPTATION is a story about rebellion and running away from yourself, about people not always being who they appear to be on the surface. Can you be rich and be normal at the same time? That question plagues Georgia. The pages are also filled with fashion, beautiful dresses and accessories that will have you gals drooling. This proves to be an interesting series!

SUMMARY

Shocking discoveries rock the Adairs…and a determined librarian can't help falling for one of this dynasty's rugged heroes!

It's true that money can't buy happiness. Librarian Georgia Mason has seen one wealthy Adair ruin her stepmother's life and swears she won't get involved with his son Carson. So what if he's a hot former special ops soldier who showers her with extravagant gifts? But he is the sexiest man she's ever met and it's hard to hate him for searching for his long-lost stepbrother, or tracking down the traitor behind his botched mission. And when Georgia faces life-threatening danger, Carson protects her, igniting their scorching passion. Maybe love of money isn't the root of all evil. Maybe there's more to Carson to trust, respect…and love.
