In hiding from a family scandal that years ago tore her family apart, Ellen Drake is companion to the beautiful Rebecca Burton in the months prior to Rebecca's wedding to Alex Marshall, Lord Stanton. When Ellen discovers Alex in a compromising position with another woman, she makes it her mission to ensure that the man remain faithful to his fiancée, devoting herself wholeheartedly to her self- appointed pursuit.

Initially irritated by the drab woman stalking him and interrupting his carnal pursuits, Alex soon discovers that beneath the drab garb of the aggravatingly persistent Miss Drake is a strikingly attractive and fascinating woman. Ellen soon finds the tables turned as Alex begins a sensual pursuit, one he isn't going to give up until he's made Ellen his own. All is not what it seems in the Stanton household, however, as someone plots the downfall of Ellen, Alex and Rebecca, using their passions against them to further an evilly Machiavellian plot.

Ms. Holt's TOO TEMPTING TO TOUCH is an intriguing, sensually explicit, thoroughly entertaining story set in 1812 London. The many plots are woven together to create a fast-paced, can't-put-down story. Characters come to life on the pages, holding the reader from first page to last. This one goes on the keeper shelf!

Book Summary

THE ONLY CURE FOR TEMPTATION...

Ellen Drake has seen first hand how dangerous scandal can be. Her family was torn apart by an unjust accusation ten years ago, and now, working as a paid companion, Ellen must keep her reputation above reproach. Catching her employer's betrothed in a sizzling tryst is bad enough; even worse that Ellen should find herself so infernally enthralled by the spectacle! Ellen intends to prevent Alex Marshall, Lord Stanton, from dallying with other women before his wedding day, but the rogue turns the tables — with an invitation to be his paramour. It's a proposition that is too outrageous, too indecent... and strangely irresistible. With a single touch, Alex opens the door to a secret world of sensual desire, a world Ellen is burning to explore...

IS TO SURRENDER...

Alex intends to be faithful once he's married, but in the meantime, London offers so many tempting bed partners. Giving the prim Miss Drake a taste of the excitement she clearly craves will be a delightful diversion, nothing more. But their secret dalliance unleashes the vengeance of someone who is plotting revenge, someone whose own erotic pursuits are twisted with madness. And the scandal that destroyed Ellen's family is about to come calling once again...
