Tempting The Spitfire

At twenty-two, Skylar Carnell is a spitfire who doesn’t believe in cliché romances and has dreams of her own to chase. What happens when she has to honor her parents’ dying wish and marry into the St. James family? Skylar tries hard to avoid the disastrous marriage to the oldest son, Sebastian St. James, and luck favors her, although momentarily.

Soon Sebastian elopes with the woman he loves. It leaves her with no other option than to meet the youngest son, the cocky, full-of-himself, infuriating Christian St. James. He’s notorious, mysterious, and full of surprises. Skylar fights him at every step, but he offers her a contract marriage she can’t ignore. Why does he want to marry her? Is it only to honor his parents’ last wish?

Can Christian tempt the spitfire and make her stay? Will Skylar walk away when the contract term expires? What will happen when unexpected circumstances bring them closer?

This is a part of the Temptation Series, but can be read as a standalone book.

Description

At 22, Skylar Carnell is a headstrong, independent woman who scoffs at cliché romances. But when her parents’ dying wish forces her into an arranged marriage with the powerful St. James family, her world flips. Initially set to marry the eldest son, Sebastian, fate intervenes when he elopes—leaving her to face the enigmatic and maddeningly charming Christian St. James.

Christian proposes a contract marriage, but his motives are murky. Is it just about honoring family wishes, or is there something deeper brewing beneath his cocky exterior? As sparks fly and secrets unravel, Skylar must decide: will she walk away when the contract ends, or will she be tempted to stay?
