Tempted (Tempted #1)

**Caution: This is a sexy romance with hot alpha bad boy scenes and is not intended for readers under eighteen. Lead us not...** Emma Everly had a predictable life. A small town preacher's daughter, she knew exactly what the future would bring. And, whether she wanted to admit it to herself or not, that future looked boring. Brown in the fall, marriage to one of her father's preapproved 'good boys', and then she'd settle down for a presentable life; just like her mother. All that changed when she met Roman... A bad boy to the core, Roman's life was anything but boring. A drag racer at heart, he had been in trouble with the law more than he cared to admit. And, regardless of the endless parade of women who flung themselves at him, none was ever enough to slow him down. That was, until he met a pretty preacher's daughter whose innocence was so complete that it couldn't be real. There was something about Emma that drew him in. And, when she saw those steel blue eyes, her heart didn't stand a chance. But, when the secret Roman's been hiding comes to light, it threatens to break this preacher's daughter's heart and tear them apart forever. Can they stand tall against all that comes their way or will these two kneel to the pressures raining down on them from every angle. In the end, temptation might be the least of the problems. **
