Southern California – Present Day

Six years ago, Belle Forsham jilted Mitch Carter at the altar, an experience neither has forgotten. She thought he was only after what her rich father could provide him, and he thought the only way to bed her was to marry her. To say things ended badly is an understatement.

In the intervening years, Mitch has become a millionaire hotel magnate, while Belle is currently a hotshot event planner. Now both need each other, but will the sparks that once flew between them be rekindled? Belle’s opinion of Mitch hasn’t changed much, but working for him will cement the reputation of her company. Mitch is about to open a five star hotel resort, and an event planner is needed ASAP, and he wishes it weren’t Belle. He needs the best, and there are not many other options.

Their first meeting at the hotel soon establishes a few things for each. Mitch is older, wiser and now (he thinks) immune to Belle’s charms, though he finds it hard to resist her. Belle, on the other hand, is sexy and attractive—and still has the hots for him. Hopefully, a quickie with Mitch will get him out of her system. While Mitch battles his inner demons and tries to stay away from the tempting Belle, someone seems bent on sabotaging his hotel before it’s even open.

Sizzling, sensual, and superb are the three words to describe COMING ON STRONG. Belle is a woman who’s working hard to maintain her individuality away from her rich father and has achieved a new maturity. Mitch is the man she pushed aside because she didn’t want anyone to stifle her or marry her because of her family. Her idea of a sex themed resort for Mitch’s hotel certainly raises the steam level between them and has him resisting . . . at first. Her friend Sierra suggests that the reason she can’t get over her feelings for Mitch is because she never scratched the itch by bedding him six years ago. But even as she blows hot, things turn cool. Mitch has a job to do, and the distraction of beautiful and sexy Belle isn’t the answer to his problems. Once Belle’s job is over and the mystery of who’s trying to ruin Mitch is solved, can there be more? Are things really over between them?

Tawny Weber’s COMING ON STRONG is a sassy, sexy tale from beginning to end and one readers won’t want to miss.
