We are excited to bring you the
Release Day Launch and Blog Tour for Verity Jacobs' THE MUSIC OF TEMPTATION!
THE MUSIC OF TEMPTATION is a contemporary romance, and the second book in
Verity Jacobs’ The Expat Series. Check out all the stops along the
way for fun content and new excerpts!
Margot Duke can’t keep her
long-distance relationship alive any more than she can the cells that are
supposed to be taking center stage in her PhD thesis. Both seem to be suffering
an inexplicably long and drawn-out death, and she’s spent more than enough time
fretting about it, without any solution in sight.
It
figures that the one day she chooses to pack it all in and stop caring is the
day she meets Jonathan Young.
Jonathan
swings through town with his band, just long enough to knock Margot off her
feet, and leave her feeling a little giddy in his wake. The encounter proves
once and for all that her inter-continental love affair is over, but can she
really stomach the idea of starting another one right on its heels? And with
the darling of the indie rock world at that?
Keeping it
PG-13
“Hi,” Jonathan said, the timbre of his
voice running up and down my body like fingertips on silk. “It’s nice to meet
you all.”
I looked over at him and felt my desire
bloom inside again. His smile was suddenly open and easy, his eyes twinkling
under that fabulous mess of dark hair. I felt the entire table fall under his
spell with a dull thud.
“So you’re
in a band?” Tek squawked skittishly.
See the
alpha male go all fanboy, I thought
with a grin, winking when his glance flicked to mine.
“That’s
cool,” he added, coming over casual and scowling back at me.
“I’m in a
band,” Jonathan said with a nod.
“Not tonight though,” he continued,
looking over at me and stretching an arm across the back of my chair. “Tonight,
I’m just with her.”
“Her?” I repeated, getting lost in his
gaze and feeling the need start to bleed through my system.
“You,” he said quietly. His hand edged
forward and found the bare skin where my back met my arm. I willed it to keep
going and touch the side of my breast. I wanted those hands all over me again.
On my breasts and in my hair and cupping the backs of my knees as he slammed
himself into me.
Now it was
my turn to smile awkwardly, and he recognized the shift in an instant, a smile
tugging at one corner of his mouth.
“Right, we
get that you two are into each other,” said Tek, apparently having recovered
from his momentary bout of groupiedom. “Can you keep it together long enough to
be a little bit social?”
Jonathan laughed and turned back to face
him. “Hey man, can you blame me?” he said. “She’s so fucking beautiful that I
have trouble breathing sometimes when I look at her.”
I felt my heart trip over itself and then stop
completely. I caught Kate’s eye just long enough to see her melt all over the
floor.
“And as I only get to look at her for
another twelve hours,” he was saying, “I think you’re gonna have to suck
it up and deal with our shit.”
It was Tek’s turn to laugh. “Yeah,
alright,” he said. “Just try to keep it PG-13, will you?”
I smiled and leaned into Jonathan’s side,
snuggling up against him and shivering when his fingers found the lace of my
bra, playing out the thoughts I’d just entertained.

She’s the hot new recruit at the most prestigious research institute in Germany, and she’s determined to live up to the hype — even if it means working day and night. Stress relief comes in the form of a no-nonsense affair with her neighbor, who also happens to be the director of the institute. Who says sex should be anything more than a contract between two people who have other things on their mind?
So when Tom Baker saunters into her life, Kate is understandably upset to see this well-oiled machine splutter and seize. Tom is young and smart, and far too pretty for his own good. Kate can’t help but be drawn to him, even if giving in to the attraction would mean risking everything she’s worked for.
