For Cillian McGloughlin, a master at building structures, his own life remains a challenging work in progress, especially as he battles the tide of alcohol addiction.
Amidst his personal turmoil, he encounters Ivy, a vibrant and enigmatic woman who reignites a passion he thought wasn’t possible. But Ivy isn’t the woman he thinks she is. Burdened with secrets and a tragic past, she’s trapped in a life she yearns to escape—and Cillian is her ticket out.
As Cillian and Ivy navigate the forbidden allure of their age-gap romance, will their deep connection survive the revelations that threaten to tear them apart?
Will Ivy’s deception push their love beyond the bounds of redemption?
Here is a little glimpse into Tender Temptation:
The second she stepped through the doorway of Kell’s Irish Pub, time slowed to a halt, like in the movies. The spotlight from the stage illuminated her from behind and cast a glowing halo around her delicately sweet face. Thick, golden hair cascaded down her back in soft waves. Her flawless, milky skin made her look ethereal. Angelic.
Her body was sculpted for temptation. Short, cut-off shorts showed off her long, muscled legs to perfection. The black bodysuit she wore clung to her curves, leaving nothing to my imagination. Her tits. God, her tits. Creamy mounds of deliciousness spilling out of her top. Her nipples practically poked through the fabric.
She was, without question, the most exquisite woman I’d ever laid eyes on. The ultimate paradox of innocence and allure. A saint cloaked in the clothes of a siren.
I couldn’t look away. Not for a second. I knew I had to have her.
The way she moved through the crowd—poised and self-assured with a hint of awkward—reminded me of a newborn fawn taking in the world for the first time.
I watched her, transfixed, like a schoolboy.
Then, as if compelled by a gravitational pull, she turned to me and her turquoise eyes caught mine.
And it was all over.
