"Jennifer Crusie has a marvelous writer's voice - funny and dead-on realistic at the same time." --Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel

All Sophie Dempsey wants is to live a quiet life taping weddings for her videocompany. After all, she and her sister come from less-than-respectable roots. But when a video assignment takes them to Temptation, Ohio, Sophie gets a bad feeling immediately. A bad feeling that begins with a car wreck, that turns to a confrontation, that leads to a run-in with Mayor Phineas Tucker. With a name like Phineas, Sophie expects an octogenarian, not the unnervingly sexy man who makes her feel things she'd rather not admit to feeling. Sophie wants to shoot the video and get out of town. Phin Tucker wants to play pool with the police chief and keep things peaceful. But Sophie's video is causing an uproar with the ever-so-proper citizens of Temptation: the tape is turning into an erotic video, and Phin is pressured to put a stop to it. As events spin out of control, both Sophie and Phin get more than they bargained for: gossip, blackmail, adultery, murder, vehicular abuse of a corpse and slightly perverse but really excellent sex. All hell breaks loose in Temptation as Sophie and Phin fall deeper and deeper in trouble...and in love.
