Sophie Dempsey wants to help her sister film a video and then get out of Temptation, Ohio. Mayor Phin Tucker wants to play pool with the police chief and keep things peaceful. But when Sophie and Phin meet, they both get more than they want. Gossip, blackmail, adultery, murder, vehicular abuse of a corpse, and slightly perverse but excellent sex: all hell breaks loose in Temptation as Sophie and Phin fall deeper and deeper in trouble, and in love.
LOVE AND DECEPTION HAVE A LOT IN COMMON. Meet the Goodnights, a respectable family running an art gallery for generations. Gwen, the matriarch, escapes reality; Eve, the oldest daughter, grapples with her dual identity; Nadine, the granddaughter, is eager to follow family traditions but seeks a path that doesn’t lead to disaster. The youngest, Matilda, guards a secret hidden in the gallery's basement, willing to do anything to protect it, even if it means breaking into a house at night to reclaim her past. THE RISKS ARE INTOXICATING. Enter the Dempseys, particularly Davy, a reformed con man who’s just lost three million to his financial manager, who handed it over to Clea Lewis, the most beautiful sociopath he’s ever known. Davy wants his money back, but more importantly, he’s determined to thwart Clea, even if it means breaking into her house to reclaim his future. A chance encounter in a closet forces Tilda and Davy to team up against Clea, suspicious art collectors, a disgruntled heir, and an exasperated hitman. Amidst the chaos, they navigate a mutant dachshund, a jukebox stuck in the sixties, questionable romance, and the realization that they cannot escape their true selves or the people they love.
