Tempted by Eden

Two strangers on vacation. One intense attraction. No expectations, other than a night of mind-blowing passion.

Five years later, broke and desperate, Cora finds herself living a double life as she works at a kinky gentlemen's club by night and as a PR specialist by day. A chance encounter at the club throws Cora into her mystery vacation man's path once again. But the only problem is… he doesn't remember her. And to top that, her man is none other than the CEO of Hayes & Meyer Media, James Hayes. Arrogant. Dominant. Mega rich. And, her new boss.

But Cora isn't a quitter. And she will do anything to keep her job. She has to. She has people depending on her. All she has to do is stay away from James. Easy, right? If only she could ignore the tempting world of submission James has opened her eyes to...

Jade May grew up beachside in Australia with her nose buried in books, getting swept up in fearless adventures and lost in the fantasy of the supernatural.  Jade has battled with Crohn's disease since she was 13 years of age and the lure of epic romances and the pure escapism of the genre beckoned her to write.

She says: "In the battle agains Crohn's, I found healing and empowerment in romance fiction.  Through it's pages, I rediscovered my femininity, embraced desires, and reclaimed my body.  Writing became my voice, celebrating the beauty of being a woman."

Jade's unique past experience in the adult industry has given her a rare insight into men and women's sexual desires.  Assisting in the running of a high class escort agency in Sydney, she was able to draw on her experiences that inspired some of the spicy scenes for 'Tempted by Eden'.

"Romance fiction is a wonderful avenue to explore desires and kinks in a safe place.  Ia m inspired by self-discovery, feminism and sexual liberation and 'Tempted by Eden' is a culmination of all of those things. My hope is that it can provide a safe place for others too," said Jade.

A marketer by day, Jade finds time to write at night, mostly angst-filled romances that are hot and heavy (with a hint ofkink) but always culminate in a happy ending. 'Tempted by Eden' is her debut novel.

She currently redises in sunny Sydney, Australia, along with her two favourite humans: her husband and son.
