n 2007, Samantha Jellicoe, a retired cat burglar, finds the diamond in a wall while setting up security for a museum exhibit. At first she thinks that Rick Addison, the current Marquis of Rawley, put it there for her, but he finds a letter explaining the curse. Rick doesn't believe in the nonsense of a curse.

uzanne Enoch has a style of writing that reels in readers from the first page. I loved the way in which the story switched from 1814 to the present time, with a new couple finding the Nightshade diamond. The two stories center on characters who are feisty and fun, making
Twice the Temptation
refreshing and entertaining.
