Now an international bestseller!

Two strangers. One night. Temptation has consequences . . .

Five years ago, I left my European vacation with more than just memories. One unforgettable fling . . . one lifetime consequence.

Now I'm broke and desperate, juggling two lives to survive. By day, I'm a desk worker at Hayes & Hayward Media, but by night, I serve gentlemen at the seductive club, Eden.

I thought I'd left my past behind. But when Eden unexpectedly throws me back into the path of the man from my vacation, my world flips upside down. James Hayes doesn't even remember me. Worse? He's arrogant, mega-rich, and . . . my new boss.

He's determined to make my life hell and fire me. But with my son depending on me, losing this job isn't an option. I'll do whatever it takes to endure this . . . even if it means resisting the very man who's reigniting every desire I've worked so hard to bury.

Staying away from James should be easy, right? If only I could ignore the seductive world he's pulling me into.

Welcome to Eden.

Tempted by Eden is the captivating first book in the Eden series of interconnected standalones from international bestselling author Jade May. It's an enemies-to-lovers office romance with a touch of angst and a HEA.

About the Author

International bestselling author Jade May writes the kind of romance that pulls you in with a spark and keeps you captive until the very last page. Her angst-filled, high-heat stories are laced with kink, where the tension runs deep, the chemistry burns hot, and happily ever after is always guaranteed. But Jade's work goes beyond the page. As a passionate advocate for people with disabilities and chronic illnesses, she's been featured in major Australian media speaking about the power of romance fiction to awaken desire, inspire confidence, and bring comfort in the face of pain. Her characters embody that same fearless pursuit of love and pleasure, proof that romance can be as empowering as it is seductive. When she's not writing, Jade calls Sydney home, sharing life by the beach with her husband and son. And while she believes life is sweeter with a touch of spice, her readers know she's not just talking about the books.
