Seduction — Brooke Hastings

From the moment the man mischievously outbid her at an auction, Diana Van Slyke was torn between longing to erase the smug smile from Marc Rochard's sensuous lips...and to feel those lips on hers. The sexy Frenchman's mix of colossal ego and gentle gallantry engaged her in a battle of wills, but it was love, not war, Marc wanted to make....

Marc's prowess at infuriation was rivaled only by his sublime cooking -- and his promise of near-legendary passion. His seductive onslaught took careful aim -- at Diana's waistline...and her womanliness. Each look became a heated caress, each word a world of tenderness, threatening to topple the wall she'd carefully built around her vulnerable heart.
