Boston, Massachusetts – Present Day

Wealthy art auctioneer Ronan Murphy is kept busy between his work at Murphy International and raising his two motherless boys. After his latest nanny quit, he's desperate to find a replacement and Joa Jones appears to be the perfect candidate—except she doesn't want the job. Joa runs in Ronan's circle of friends who are all connected to Murphy International, so they are aware of each other's past. Ronan is still in love with his late wife and Joa, who until recently did au pair work, doesn't want the job working for him because she's already fallen for two employers in the past—and fears Ronan would be the next. He's charming, handsome, and totally someone she could fall in love with. It doesn't help that while he's trying to convince her to take the job, they end up in bed together. Yes, the sexual chemistry between them is hot. But when an emergency arises, Ronan is desperate and finally convinces Joa to temporarily take the job. Will that one night of passion soon turn into another?

Ronan might be widowed, but he's still in love with his wife and Joa doesn't want to compete with a dead person. However, he needs an emergency nanny after a business crisis means he must go to China to resolve it. Joa figures she can stay with the kids while he's gone and help find him a nanny, but after he returns, their attraction heats up again. Yes, Ronan is a passionate lover, but how can Joa walk around his home and see all these pictures of his late wife and not feel like she'll always come second behind a dead woman? Ronan doesn't see it—but will he change his tune if he realizes that his feelings for Joa run deeper than he thought?

TEMPTATION AT HIS DOOR is a tempting tale that readers won't want to miss. Joa was raised in the foster care system until she was plucked out by a benefactor, who is now deceased. The lady left Joa with lots of money, but despite her wealth, she is down to earth even though she runs around in a circle of wealthy and influential friends. Ronan's first responsibility is to his children and he never thought that he'd find love again. While part of the Murphy International series by Joss Wood, TEMPTATION AT HIS DOOR can easily be read as a standalone.

Will Joa help Ronan find love again? An emotional tale that will tug at your heart, don't miss TEMPTATION AT HIS DOOR.
