The Devil's Temptation - Paperback

Dorothea "Dottie" has always known how to follow the rules.

She runs her bakery, keeps her head down, smiles when people expect her to smile, and pretends she is satisfied with a life that feels safe, sweet, and painfully predictable.

But beneath the flour-dusted counters and small-town expectations, Dottie wants more.

She just doesn't know how to ask for it.

When a visit to The Arcane Room leads her to draw XV. The Devil, Dottie thinks it is only a card. A symbol. A harmless fantasy.

Then Lucian appears. Darkly beautiful, wickedly charming, and far too real, Lucian is temptation given flesh. He sees every secret hunger Dottie has buried. Every longing she has been taught to fear. Every part of herself she has kept locked away because good girls are not supposed to want so much.

Lucian offers her a choice: return to the life she knows, or step into a fantasy where desire has no rules.
But magic never gives without taking. And the Devil does not tempt a woman like Dottie unless he intends to keep her.

The Devil's Temptation is a sensual, magical, emotionally charged Romantasy standalone featuring a shy baker, a dangerous tarot-card lover, forbidden desire, sexual awakening, wish magic, and a fantasy that becomes far more real than anyone expected.

Enter the world of Tarot Fantasies, where one card can grant your deepest wish, but every wish comes with a cost.

Edition Note: This book was originally published in a much shorter form and has been substantially revised and expanded into a full-length novel, with significant new material throughout. Readers who prefer the original short-story versions can still find them in Tarot Fantasies Books 1-4.
