Corinna's story — last in the Sweet Temptations Trilogy!
Although he has a bevy of beautiful admirers, all Sean Delaney cares about is securing a divorce—for his sister, that is. That's why he's impersonating John Hamilton, her famous painter husband. It's the only way the rotter will agree to a divorce. Little does Sean realize that duping Hamilton's dying uncle will require the help of the very woman who can inspire him to get down on one knee…
Budding artist Lady Corinna Chase never had an interest in getting married. But as the only person privy to Sean's secret, she's more than happy to help him pull off his hoax. Until, that is, she realizes she's met a man who might actually tempt her into tying the knot…
In bookstores October 2nd, 2007!
