Someone to Tempt by Michelle Major

Posted September 13, 2025 by Marsha in Contemporary Romance, Kindle Unlimited, Series, Sexual Content, Small Town Romance / 0 Comments

I’ve never been one to follow the rules–especially when they’re someone else’s.

Skylark, Colorado, was supposed to be a pit stop. A quick detour while I figured out my next move. I wasn’t expecting her.

Iris Dixon. The girl I let go ten years ago. The one I should have fought for. Now she’s standing in front of me, all grown up, still impossibly beautiful…and looking at me like I’m a surprise root canal.

Too bad the universe just paired us up in her brand-new dance class.

She says she hates me. I don’t blame her. I was reckless, angry, and I broke her heart when she least deserved it. But I’m not that guy anymore.

She thinks she’s the one playing it safe. Truth is, Iris has always been the brave one, keeping her life together while the people around her fell apart. Now she’s trying to loosen up and live a little. I want to be the one she lives it up with.

But just when it feels like we might get a second chance, the ghosts of our past come back swinging.

I’ve made a lot of mistakes, but letting her go again? That’s one I won’t repeat. Even if it means rewriting every rule I’ve ever known.
