Dear Reader,

Who can resist a sexy, rough-around-the-edges hero with a heart of gold? If you've read our first Temptation, Constant Craving, you know we can't. So we decided to try it again. And this time, not only is our hero, Secret Agent Marc McCoy, totally irresistible...he's got four dangerously attractive brothers cut from the same cloth. Is it any wonder we're calling them The Magnificent McCoy Men?

In License to Thrill, our intrepid hero Marc McCoy is up against his ex-partner and former lover, provocative Melanie Weber. Not only has she got another fiance and a substantial secret that's bound to show up in say, seven months--she's also got a madman after her. But the story doesn't begin and end there. Oh, no.

We hope you enjoy Marc and Mel's adventurous journey to the altar. And be sure to watch for upcoming books featuring those oh-so tempting McCoys....

Here's wishing you love, romance and happy endings.
