Tempted Hearts: A BRAND NEW irresistible romance of chaos, chemistry and forbidden feelings for 2026

Every book in The Bachelor Pact series can be read as a standalone.

Juliette

I never meant to derail a man like Cole Ford. One lost passport and a spiraling travel disaster later, I’m stranded in Cinque Terre—overwhelmed and completely out of my depth. Then Cole shows up: calm, controlled, infuriatingly handsome. He’s order wrapped in a perfectly pressed shirt, and somehow the only person who makes me feel steady in the middle of my own chaos. I start wanting what I shouldn’t—him. And wanting Cole feels dangerous in a way I can’t even explain.

Cole

I don’t do chaos. And Juliette Porter is chaos with a heartbeat. I live by structure, logic, and The Bachelor Pact—especially the final rule: never fall in love. Flying to Italy to retrieve Juliette was supposed to be simple. But she slips past every defense I’ve built, makes me crave the unpredictable, and tempts me to break the vow I swore I’d never touch.

By the time we return to the familiarity of Cedar Falls, one truth is unavoidable: to keep her, I’ll have to shatter my last unbroken rule—and finally risk my heart.
