Synopsis
Sisters Amy and Sophie Dempsey are relatively upstanding young women who happen to come from a family of felons and con artists. In this zany romance, they travel together to the town of Temptation, Ohio, to film a would-be porn star's audition tape. Soon, Sophie has fallen for handsome bookstore owner Phineas Tucker, and she uses her slightly unorthodox erotic activities with him as inspiration for the audition tape. Meanwhile, violence has erupted in the town, and suddenly, the sisters are drawn into a mystery.

Publisher's Note
Sophie Dempsey is content living a quiet life filming wedding videos until an assignment brings her to Temptation, Ohio. From the moment she drives into town, she gets a bad feeling; Sophie is from the wrong side of the tracks and everything in Temptation is a little too right. And when she has a run-in with the town's unnervingly sexy mayor, Phineas Tucker, making a little movie turns out to be more than a little dangerous.All Sophie wants to do is film the video and head home. All Phin wants to do is play pool with the police chief and keep things peaceful. They both get more than they bargained for when Sophie's video causes an uproar and the proper citizens of Temptation set out to shut them down. As events spiral out of control, Sophie and Phin find themselves caught in a web of gossip, blackmail, adultery, murder, and really excellent sex. All hell breaks loose in Temptation as Sophie and Phin fall deeper and deeper in trouble . . . and in love.
Industry Reviews
"As always, the humor and insight into human nature make Ms. Cruisie's books downright irresistible."
Romantic Times 1-800-989-8816 (04/20/2001)
"Its preposterous plot and clichéd characters make WELCOME TO TEMPTATION tough going indeed....[D]espite several juicy sex scenes and some humor at the expense of small-town Midwesterners, there is very little in WELCOME TO TEMPTATION that does not feel predictable and done to death."
New York Times Book Review - Betsy Groban (04/09/2000)
