Are you excited for the release of The Temptation?

I didn't want you to wait until December to get your hands on this lovely book. My editors have been working hard. Pierce and Simon are currently with my proofer. After the proofer, the book will receive one final look to make sure it is hunky dory.

Jocelynn’s Quotes

“Shame you also don’t date men, because I can think of a half a dozen places in this room alone that I’d like to fuck you and then I want to take you home and christen every room in that damned penthouse. Hell, everywhere you look in this office and everywhere you look at home, I want you to remember how we fucked there. I want those memories burned into your brain. And that…takes time.”
