An Irresistible Temptation — Sydney Jane Baily

Disembarking the train at the tiny town of Spring City, Colorado, classical pianist Sophie Malloy didn't expect to be knocked into the street by a dusty cowboy with a devastatingly sexy grin.

Riley Dalcourt-the dusty cowboy studying to be a doctor-is stunned. At first sight, he knows Sophie is for him, right down to her purple unmentionables. Unfortunately, Sophie is gone from his hometown as quickly as she arrived.

Now in San Francisco awaiting an audition with the symphony, Sophie takes a job as a piano player at The Grand Hotel.

Then Riley walks in and everything changes-again.

About to finish medical school, Riley will return to Spring City to take over his mentor's practice.

For Sophie to realize her dream, she must remain in San Francisco.

But as passions blaze, Sophie finds another reason to stay put. A recent recipient of a broken heart herself, Sophie refuses to hand the same to Riley's fiancée, no matter how much she loves the man.
