Tangled Temptations novel Chapter 1

In a hotel room, dimly lit. Eloise was tightly embracing a handsome stranger, exchanging passionate kisses.

Tonight, her ex-boyfriend Max announced his engagement, leaving her drunk as a skunk in a bar. Under the influence of alcohol and the lure of the man, Eloise followed this stranger here. After all, if Max could easily ditch a four-year relationship and dump her for a rich girl, then she could let loose for once, too.

Her body, inexperienced, was tightly held by the man, at his mercy.

Just as things were about to happen, she leaned on the man's shoulder, softly whispering, “Max…" like a kitten.

All affectionate actions abruptly stopped. The door card was inserted, and the room was instantly flooded with light. In the bright light, she saw the man's face clearly.

Harvey, a top domestic lawyer, who was known in the legal circles as the toughest nut to crack. More importantly, he had another significant identity - he was Max’s uncle-in-law, the man who had betrayed her.

Eloise couldn't believe she almost slept with her ex's uncle-in-law.

Harvey released her, leaning against the wall. He lit a cigarette, his expression playful as he sized her up. "Interesting... Ms. Laurent."

Clearly, Harvey recognized her too. As the ash fell from his cigarette, Harvey smiled at Eloise. His mature gaze was making Eloise's legs weak, and her heart was pounding.

He asked casually, "You know who I am, don't you? What were you thinking when you kissed me? Trying to get back at Max by sleeping with me?"
