title: Tempting (The Buchanans, Book 4)
author:  Susan Mallery 
description: *Starred Review* The frigid-hearted matriarch of the Buchanan clan has just told Dani that she's not really one of them since she's the result of her mother's illicit affair. Dani's search for her biological father leads her to Senator Mark Canfield, a candidate for president of the United States. Alex Canfield is the oldest of Mark and Katherine's large, adopted brood. As the senator's loyal, right-hand man, Alex is suspicious about the feisty woman who claims to be his father's daughter, and the media has a field day with news of a surprise love child. Mark naively believes that his warm, loving wife will readily accept his newfound daughter, unaware of the depth of her insecurities about not being able to bear a child. Alex and Dani find themselves drawn to each other as their constant bantering becomes verbal foreplay, but his ex-wife wants him back. Life in the public eye, old wounds, and family relations are all skillfully examined in this latest offering in Mallery's popular Buchanan family series (Delicious, 2006; Irresistible, 2006; Sizzling, 2007). At turns witty and poignant, this hard-to-put-down book will appeal to a broad spectrum of readers. Mosley, Shelley

  Gretna Green, 1814
  
  After narrowly avoiding scandal with a falsehearted rake, Miss Melanie Harding
  is sent to live quietly in the country. No balls. No parties. Certainly no
  flirting with dashing strangers whose dark eyes hint at all kinds of delicious
  wickedness.
  
  All of Philip Carrington’s practical plans evaporate the moment he encounters
  Melanie. Is it foolishness to run away with her to Scotland, or the wisest
  thing he’s ever done? The lovely, impetuous Miss Harding kisses like an
  angel—and brings out the very devil in him. And together, they may discover
  the most passionate adventure of all….

  AUTHOR NOTE
  
  When I first read Dickens’s wonderful book Our Mutual Friend, I was fascinated
  by so many of the characters, including the newlywed Lammles! They were not
  nice people at all. They married each other thinking the other rich, only to
  find themselves stuck with each other and no money at
