âWill you marry me?â
Isnât that the question every girl dreams of hearing? Victoria certainly used to think so. And safe, steady Oliver seemed perfect husband material. But that was until she met Liam, his rebellious, scorchingly hot best friend. Suddenly Victoriaâs feeling thingsâcrazy lust-fueled things!âsheâs never felt before. But for the wrong guy⦠Then Oliver goes down on one knee, and itâs decision timeâhead or hormones?
Victoriaâs about to discover the truth about guys like Liamâonce you go bad you never go back!
âIâm going to take my time and Iâm going to savour every second I have. Donât plan on sleeping any tonight.â
Oh.
He didnât take his eyes off her and she couldnât drag hers away, not when his eyes were deepening so quicklyâand inviting. âIs that a problem?â
She shook her head, unable to make a sound.
His hands loosened on her wrists. One finger ran up her arm while with his other hand he cupped her jaw. âWhy have you changed your mind?â
âI think I was wrong and you were right,â she whispered. âThis isâ¦passion.â She chose her word carefully. âAnd I think it needs to be dealt with.â
âYou think you can deal with me?â
That old arrogance brought back her smile. âI think for one night. Yes. I can deal with you.â She had to.
Dear Reader,
Iâm so thrilled you have this book, my first MODERN TEMPTEDâ¢, in your hands! Iâm super excited to be part of Mills & Boonâs newest series. I love fun, sassy stories with style, spark and a whole lot of emotion! I hope you do too.
In this book I was very intrigued by the idea of âwhat ifââespecially in relation to those âin the blink of an eyeâ decisions that go on to have a profound impact on the rest of our lives. What if you had said yes to that invitation, or in this case that proposal? What if you had said no? When I think back to how my own romance played out there were definite âturning pointâ decisions.
So what if we made the âwrongâ decisionâmight fate offer the chance to try again? In this book I decided to explore exactly that. But although fate might offer us a second chance, I think it is still the decisions we make as individuals that determine whether or not something is going to go the distance.
So what decision does my heroine Victoria make in this book? How does Liam react? I hope youâll read on to find out!!!
I loved writing Victoria and Liamâs stories and playing at âfateâ, and I really hope you enjoy reading it as much as Iâve loved writing it for you.
With very best wishes,
Natalie

THE RIGHT MR. WRONG
Natalie Anderson
PROLOGUE
Christmas Day, five years earlier.
They were almost all there. Her parents. Oliverâs family. Oliverâs friends. The only one missing was Stella, her rebel sister, whose name hadnât been mentioned once in the four years since sheâd left.
Victoria Rutherford looked at the pile of presents under the tree. There wouldnât be one for Stella, of course, but she hoped there was at least one for Oliverâs friend. She stepped closer, scanning the tags for his name.
Liam.
She really shouldnât worry about it. He was Oliverâs friend, Oliverâs guest. Of course his parents would be polite enough to have something for the guy whoâd only arrived in England this week.
âYouâre not going to start shaking the boxes, are you?â a low voice murmured behind her.
She started, a smile irresistibly springing to her lips. It shouldnât. It really shouldnât. But he made her laugh with his commentsâeven just the wry expression he could shoot from his way-too-warm eyes. Sheâd had to stifle shivers when heâd looked at her in a way he shouldnât. Not that he did now.
Unfortunately heâd looked at her that way the first moment theyâd metâwhen heâd not known who she was. She was still trying to get over the embarrassment of him coming across her in the guest bathroom wrapped in nothing but a towel. Heâd had clothes on but that hadnât stopped her from noticing things she really had no business noticing.
