When twenty-four-year-old Delilah Belle Babcock is selected for a summer internship in London, England, she’s excited at the prospective of a fresh-start. Leaving her relationship woes behind in New York City, she sets off to the other side of the pond. Her only goal is to perfect her skills as a curator. She never expected to meet the likes of Ethan Gordimer... or his best friend Xander Emerson. One chance encounter places all three of them in the same spot at the same time.

Once Ethan and Xander have Delilah behind closed doors, they rock her world in such a mind-blowing way, she’s afraid she might never recover. She can’t thank her lucky stars enough to have not one, but two delicious pieces of ‘man candy’ shower her with so much attention. That said, she never expected them to want to see her again.

Once he's able to wrap his head around this unsettling encounter, he has to decide if he's really ready to put the past behind him or if certain relationships are so haunting they keep a firm grip on your heart and soul forever.
British Temptation Part 4: Enamored
Do good things come in threes? Does it even make sense to fall in love with two men? And if so, what does the future looks like? Those are just some of the questions clouding Delilah Babcock’s mind as she faces the real possibility of having to leave behind the most perfect relationship she's ever had in her entire life. If you're looking for an uneventful ending to this already smoldering hot series, Part 4 isn't it. Just when you think Scarlett can’t add any more twists and surprises to this story… she does...
