About The Temptress

With the blazing spirit of a true Montgomery, heiress and newspaper reporter Christiana Montgomery Mathison bravely defies the two men who steal her away.

Amid schemes of greed and intrigue, Christiana resists the advances of one captor, and uses all her wiles to entice the other, the mysterious Tynan…a dark, fatally handsome man who desires her — but who must refuse her love at all costs!
