With her soft curves and sharp tongue, defense attorney Cressida Bridwell is the only woman in Mercury Ridge that I want. She's also the one woman I can't have. Jonah As a police officer, I spend a lot of time testifying in court, and no one is a tougher adversary than Cressida. I have to confess, I love going toe-to-toe with the passionate public defender. I admire her dedication to her clients, even if her faith in them is misguided at times. Judging by the way she glares at me, though, the admiration is entirely one-sided. She views me as the enemy. But I'm a Griffin brother—and Griffins never give up without a fight. Tempt Me More is a short & steamy, OTT instalove, hate to love, forbidden love romance featuring a curvy heroine and a sexy policeman living and working in Pippa Brook's fictional small mountain town of Mercury Ridge, North Carolina.
