Tempt – Releasing on January 9, 2026

Her best friend warned her. Stay away from Ross. He destroys everything he touches.

Ivy should have listened.

Ross has a reputation that precedes him—bad decisions, broken hearts, and addictions he can’t seem to shake. He’s the one his sister begs Ivy to avoid, the brother whose self-destruction has left scars on everyone who loved him. Ivy has watched from a distance for years, keeping her walls high and her distance safe.

But Ross doesn’t do safe. And he’s done staying away.

The moment he decides he wants her, everything changes. Suddenly he’s everywhere—showing up where she is, watching her with eyes that strip her bare, whispering promises in the dark that she knows she shouldn’t believe. He’s dangerous, reckless, and entirely wrong for her. But when he touches her, none of that matters.

One night. That’s all it was supposed to be. One mistake she could bury and forget.

Except Ross doesn’t let her forget. He becomes obsessed. Addicted. And this time, she’s the drug he can’t quit.

Now they’re tangled in a secret so explosive it could detonate everything—her friendship, his family, the fragile sobriety he’s barely holding onto. Every stolen encounter pulls them deeper into the flames. Every lie they tell makes the truth more dangerous. And the harder she tries to walk away, the tighter his grip becomes.

Because Ross has spent his life chasing highs he could never hold. But Ivy? She’s the one addiction he’ll burn the world down to keep.

The question isn’t whether they’ll get caught. It’s whether she’ll survive him when they do.

Tempt is a dark, intoxicating forbidden romance about the bad boy who’s broken everything he’s ever touched—and the one woman who might be his salvation or his final destruction.
