Undeniable

by Francis Ray 

  

When wealthy Texas heiress Rachel Malone defied her powerful father to elope with Logan Prescott, Logan truly believed that their marriage was forever. But that was before a trumped-up assault charge set the whole town--and the woman he loved--against him. With a heart full of pain, Logan fled Stanton--and the bittersweet memories of the passion he and Rachel had shared. Now, eight years later, he was back -- more arrogant and dangerously seductive than ever. And this time the stakes were higher. For Logan clearly wanted revenge. He also wanted Rachel.

TWICE THE TEMPTATION

 

 

FRWIDGET
 

In this first ever short story collection, New York Times bestselling author Francis Ray takes us on five steamy, sexy adventures. Listed below is a brief introduction:

 

The Awakening

(originally published in February 1999 as part of ROSIE'S CURL AND WEAVE anthology)

 A timid, dowdy duckling turns into a confident, sexy swan-and into the arms of a handsome artist-with the help of Rosie's Curl and Weave...

 

 

A Matter of Trust

(originally published in July 2000 as part of DELLA'S HOUSE OF STYLE anthology)

Single mother Hope Lassiter, once a critically acclaimed actress, is now a cosmetologist at Della's House of Style. When a handsome director tries to woo her back to the stage, Hope has to wonder if his intentions are more than professional...


The second story in TWICE THE TEMPTATION collection is "A Matter of Trust" from DELLA'S HOUSE OF STYLE. I wanted to set this book around Broadway. I remember my first trip to New York and Broadway. Exciting. I couldn't believe that many people would be out at two in the morning having so much fun?

 

A matter of trust is also what it takes for Sebastian Stone, handsome theater director to feel for one special woman, Hope Lassiter, a hairstylist. First, to let Hope cut his hair, then to read for the lead in his Broadway play. Sebastian, over six-feet, trim, and athletic with eyes that will make a woman sigh, doesn't give his trust easily, and with good reason.  Sebastian is a bit tense, could it be that Hope tempted him on a personal level?  And, Sebastian, I wouldn't be so sure about not seeing Hope again. Some women don't give up easily!

 

 

Sweet Temptation

(originally published in December 2000 as part of WELCOME TO LEO'S anthology)

A Texas Ranger and a candy shop owner have a blind date - with a delicious unexpected outcome... Sweet Temptation is treasure trove of delicious and decadent goodies guaranteed to tempt the untemptable. The candy pleases the eye and tempt the taste bud.

 

The third story in TWICE THE TEMPTATION collection is Sweet Temptation. Meet Chase M. Braxton, a commissioned officer in the elite Texas Rangers. A career lawman, Chase is in Washington, DC to teach a criminal law symposium at Howard University. Chase, six-foot-five of gorgeous conditioned muscles, is focused on making captain. Chase doesn't have any problems resisting temptation ...until he meets Julia Ferrignton - elegant, serene, beautiful - owner of Sweet Temptation, a confection shop renowned for its gourmet chocolate goodies. Chase's life is in Texas, Julia's in in DC...but temptation has never tastes so sweet and irresistible.

 

 

Southern Comfort

(originally published in June 2001 as part of GOING TO THE CHAPEL anthology) 

A bridesmaid for the eighth time and not the bride, political fundraiser Adrienne Summers is fed up. Worse, she finds a major problem at this wedding-the Best Man. They're fighting about her clothes (too sexy), her behavior (too flirty), and his macho views (wives shouldn't work). It sounds like they just might be falling in love!

 

 

The Blind Date

(originally published in October 2004 as part of LET'S GET IT ON anthology)

Ayanna Hardcastle pretends that she is dating wealthy businessman Tanner Rafferty in order to get her matchmaking friend off her back. But she never imagined that Tanner Rafferty would show up to collect on that claim!
