Tempted At Midnight — Jacquie D'Alessandro

A desperate beauty concocts a perfectly outrageous scheme for success -- and not only attracts the attention of the Ladies Literary Society of London, but also the last man she'd ever expected to tempt.

Lady Emily Stapleford never dreamed that the burden of saving her family from financial ruin would rest on her lovely, resourceful shoulders. Since she is only willing to marry for love, money, Emily pens a story she hopes will bring her fortune -- only to have it rejected by every publishing firm. After all, what respectable reader would dare embrace a vampire heroine?

Not to be dissuaded, Emily decides to create public interest with a vampire pretense. Overnight, London is abuzz with stories about sightings. With new interest in Emily's book, she's guaranteed success -- if it weren't for the mysterious American Logan Jennsen. He's onto Emily's duplicity, and he has every intention of using this knowledge to his advantage. If only he weren't falling in love with this unabashedly creative female. And if only he didn't have a scandalous secret of his own -- one that's putting both their lives in danger...
