“Another great book by Cathryn Fox! Beautifully written, this may be my new favorite Bucks couple! 5 Star, L. Olinger, Amazon Reviewer.Sharing a house—and a Jack-and-Jill bathroom—with my brother’s best friend is a special kind of torture.

The stolen glances, the whispered questions, the charade—it’s all to get his parents off his back.It’s fun and games… until I have to share his bed.

Mistaken identity leads to love in TEMPT ME, the first book in the new steamy contemporary romance series THE MACINTYRE BROTHERS SERIES from USA Today Bestselling Author S. E. Lund:
I thought my life was all mapped out – marriage to my very ambitious fiancé, a career in business writing and a family.
Then I found my husband-to-be in the middle of more than just dictation with his nubile young ‘sexretary’ Bunni.
That’s Bunni with an ‘i’ just so we’re clear.
Brokenhearted, I swore off men in general and office romances in particular. I escaped to Manhattan with the plan of starting a new life on my own two feet, free of my cheating fiancé.
Despite an initial disastrous encounter with sexy bicycle courier Josh, I couldn’t help but admire his buff body, sharp mind and sense of humor. On top of it, he was a real gentleman, offering to help me when my life crumbled around me.
Maybe a crass and meaningless relationship of sex, sex and more sex with his hunky and very buff cyclist body would be good enough. He might not be my own Mr. Big, but a fling with him would sure beat another session with B.O.B.
Then I discovered that the sexy bicycle courier who stole my heart was none other than Joshua Macintyre Jr., one of America’s richest bachelors.
Not only that, he’s also my boss.
Now, I’m afraid I’m going to break all my rules about office romances…
THE MACINTYRE BROTHERS SERIES:
Five brothers. One hell of a last will and testament. Five couples find their happy ever after.
BOOK ONE: TEMPT ME is the story of Josh and Ella’s beginning.
BOOK TWO: TEASE ME continues the story of their growing romance.
BOOK THREE: TAME ME follows the couple as they find their happy ever after.
EACH BOOK HAS A HAPPY-FOR-NOW END! NO CLIFFHANGERS!
