Just five months after his grandfather's death put him and his brothers in charge of running his company, Tidewater International, Ben Sinclair receives another life-changing shock. The short, sweet letter simply states he has a 15- year-old son and it's time they finally meet. Disbelief and the need to prove the words are true has Ben determined to return to the small logging town of his past. Anger and the need for revenge takes precedence over everything else as he confronts the woman who's kept this secret from him for 15 years. Ben's plan is simple; get to know his son, then bring him home where he belongs. Emma Sands looks at the beaten-up, bloody guest and can't believe her eyes. He's Ben Sinclair in the flesh, claiming to be Tom Jenkins. Her heart stops as she realizes he is here for his son, Michael. Her fears have finally come to pass; the enjoyable task of raising her highly intelligent nephew for the past 10 years is devastatingly over. But how did Ben find out about Michael? Now that he is here to claim what is rightfully his, will Ben be able to gain Michael's respect? Not an easy feat. And Emma is not prepared for her renewed feelings for Ben. All those long ago teenage feelings of first love come back to the surface. Thank god he still doesn't notice her that way, or does he? TEMPT ME IF YOU CAN was an absolute joy to read! I laughed out loud at the witty humor and sighed at all the right times! Books like this are the reason I like to read in the first place.

SUMMARY

HE'LL PLAY BY HER RULES UNTIL SHE FALLS FOR HIM...HOOK, LINE, AND SINKER. When an anonymous letter stuns shipping magnate and confirmed bachelor Ben Sinclair with the news that he has a teenage son, he's determined to make good on the past. But Emma Sands doesn't trust him. The beautiful, fiery blonde has raised her nephew in the peaceful woods of Maine since he was five, and just because fifteen-year-old Michael is the spitting image of his tall, handsome father doesn't give Ben the right to march in and change their lives forever. Or so she thinks, until his return mysteriously unearths a dangerous small-town secret. With Michael's help, Ben will do whatever it takes to prove to fiercely independent Emma that he can be the fearless protector she never knew she wanted...and the passionate lover she always thought she could resist.
