Poor Tess finds this man too attractive and the more she tries to get to know him the more she gets to like him. Once Tempted is the debut novel of a brilliant and promising contemporary romance series. The storyline is quite engaging right from the first page.

The two eventually fall in love with other, but the problem is that Tess is hiding dark secrets that will come back haunting her. Will her new relationship survive the dark secrets that Tess is hiding once they are revealed? Even though Ward once loved and ended up being hurt, this does not change his view about love. But instead, once he finds love, he accepts it and embraces it as well. Yes, he might have fallen in love with a gold digger in the past, but this did not stop him from falling in love once again.

Besides the main characters, Tess and Ward, there are secondary characters that are also interesting and contribute to the overall development of the main character and also help the readers get to know more about the protagonists.
