BLURB
When Bethany Beaumont finds a
book about life in the sultan’s harem, she discovers it’s actually a guide to
the lost art of seduction. Just what she needs as she departs on a study abroad
trip to exotic Istanbul. She’s struggling to get over her ex, and the book of
dirty little secrets might be just the thing to help…if only she could find
someone to practice on.
Half-Turkish and full of
Australian swagger, teaching assistant Adam Kent seems to fit the bill. They
decide to become lovers for the duration of the trip, and then part ways.
Forever.
But not every lesson can be found
in a book, and sometimes falling in love changes everything. When Bethany is
forced to confront her past, and the promises she made to someone else, will it
really be as easy as she thought to let Adam go?

EXCERPT:
My mother
insisted on purchasing two of the largest suitcases possible, Louis Vuitton
rolling cases in an easily recognizable and slightly obnoxious shade of bright
pink. She’d spent more on my luggage than some people did on a car, and they
were heavy. I’d loaded them up with my precious books and far too many pairs of
shoes before I left. The porter stumbled, losing his grip on the first
suitcase, and nearly fell.
I rushed
to help, but someone else beat me to it, a tall, mountain of a man. I stopped
in my tracks and stared. I may have been drooling. He was, for lack of a better
word, beautiful.
Broad
chest. Long legs. Strong, muscular arms. Golden, glowing skin. Chestnut hair
flowing in riotous curls around his face and down to his shoulders. Eyes in a
warm shade of brown. The edge of a tattoo peeking out from under the sleeve of
his shirt.
Something
unexpected curled in my chest. Was it…lust? I hadn’t felt it in so long I
almost didn’t recognize it. But I wasn’t the only person staring at the bronzed
god in from of me.
“Heavens
to Betsy,” said Hilary under her breath. “I’ve never seen anything so pretty
this close up.”
He was pretty,
and he was also pissed off, most likely at the owner of the two enormous and
ridiculously heavy pink suitcases. Me.
