Billion-dollar entrepreneur Ian Noble has selected Francesca Arno’s painting for the lobby of his newest skyscraper. The attraction between Ian and Francesca is instant, mutual, and intense, but Ian wants Francesca for more than her artistic ability.

Francesca is a talented artist and an independent woman who finds herself in a situation that scares her as much as it excites her in Because You Tempt Me. The dichotomy between these two emotions remains for a long while because she’s wary of what Ian makes her feel. Ian controls everything and everyone around him, but he he’s finally found a woman who challenges him. Sexual tension between Francesca and Ian grows, and Ian’s restraint is tested in Because You Tempt Me. What will it take to snap Ian’s control and what will he do when it does? I get the sense he doesn’t lose control often and that what Francesca makes him feel is new. The sexual tension and anticipation of what’s to come made me desperate to continue Ian and Francesca’s story.
