  SPECIAL EXCERPT FROM

  Harlequin Presents® is thrilled to welcome reader-favorite Anne Mather back to the series with this fantastic story of forbidden passion and hidden secrets!

  Irish tycoon Jack Connolly had sworn off women after a tragic accident cost him his wife. Haunted by her memory, it is only when he meets Grace Spencer that his senses are awakened. But she is out of bounds for she belongs to another...or does she?

  Read on for a sneak preview of A FORBIDDEN TEMPTATION

  “WE—WE HAVE to go,” she said, but her voice was thready and barely audible.

  Jack nodded. “Yeah,” he said hoarsely, but then he bent his head and covered her lips with his, and she fairly melted against him.

  Which was so wrong. But just at that moment it felt so incredibly right.

  Jack thought his body might go up in flames. The yielding softness of her mouth beneath his was that devastating.

  Her lips were moist and sensuous, igniting a flame inside him that was damn near irresistible. His hands slid down her arms and linked with hers. And it was the most natural thing in the world to wind her hands behind her back and urge her even closer against him.

  Grace, meanwhile, could feel her senses slipping. What little resistance she had left was drifting away. And when Jack’s tongue parted her lips and thrust hungrily into her mouth, she couldn’t prevent her nails from digging urgently into his palms.

  But that was only part of it, he acknowledged grimly. What he really wanted he couldn’t have. He blew out a breath.

  That wasn’t going to happen.

  Not in this lifetime. No way.

  And the sooner he put a stop to this, the sooner he’d remember who he was. Who she was.

  He had to kill these feelings that were so—unwanted?

  Right.

  With a determination that was enforced by the belief that Grace would blame him for this, Jack reluctantly released her hands and stepped away from her.

  Not far, because the window was at his back. But far enough for her to realize what he was doing.

  “Like you said,” he declared, his voice a little rough. He cleared his throat before continuing, “We should go.”
