I'm so excited! After spending months on Pure of Heart, my editor will be sending me my first edits for the second novel in my Pure Escapades series - PURE TEMPTATION. This novel follows secondary character Talon Barberry from Pure of Heart on a seafaring journey to the West Indies and beyond. The storyline is one of my favorites, and I'm really looking forward to the release of this book! For your pleasure, here's the blurb from the back of the book:
COMING SOON:
Pure Temptation
Jilted by his betrothed, Talon Barberry leaves his family's strict "Gypsy" ways behind when he's hired by a French extremist to kidnap a Spanish diplomat's daughter sailing to New Orleans. However, with the help of a slave boy he meets aboard the ship, Talon discovers he's merely a pawn in the Frenchman's game: his target is actually a beautiful spy hired by the Cabildo government.
Volunteering to take her best friend's place on a ship bound for trouble, Talia Montrose uses her feminine wiles to beguile the handsome rogue sent to capture her. When they uncover the truth that she’s a victim of the Frenchman's evil plan, Talon agrees to protect her and save her family home. and Talia loses her heart to the man willing to sacrifice his life for hers
Conflicted by his own emotions, Talon falls for the creole seductress, uprooting his entire moral grounding. Over land and sea, they finally succumb to their uncontrollable desire for one another - but it can never be; Talon is Romani, and he could never have a life with a white woman. When Talia leaves him behind, Talon realizes a little too late that he can’t live without her. Will he give up his strict moral code to live a life of happiness with the woman he loves?
I'm not sure of the release date yet, but I'll keep you posted!
