Tempt Books in Order

The Tempt series shows off Natasha Madison’s rom-com side: sharp banter, workplace tension, and the kind of chemistry that makes it very hard for characters to follow their own rules. Instead of small towns or hockey teams, these books lean into offices, chance encounters, and hookups that refuse to stay casual.

Tempt the Boss kicks things off with Lauren, a single mom returning to the workforce, and Austin, the arrogant new boss she accidentally insulted before realizing who he was. Their working relationship starts with glares and petty revenge—bad coffee, sabotaged meetings, and a lot of muttered nicknames—but evolves into something much more dangerous to their hearts. One look, one touch, and one very broken set of office rules change everything.

In Tempt the Playboy, the focus shifts to a hero who has always embraced his playboy reputation and the woman least impressed by it. Whether they’re neighbors, coworkers, or thrown together through friends, their story plays with the idea of a man everyone assumes will never settle down being brought up short by someone who calls him on his nonsense at every turn.

Tempt the Hookup takes the classic one-night-stand setup and gives it consequences neither lead can ignore. What was supposed to be a single anonymous night turns out to have very real, long-lasting fallout, tying two virtual strangers together and forcing them to decide if they can become partners in more than name.

By the time you reach Tempt the Ex, you’re deep into second-chance territory. Former lovers who went their separate ways are thrown back together through work, mutual friends, or sheer bad timing, and have to navigate unfinished business alongside lingering spark. Old wounds bump against new desires, and forgiveness becomes as important as attraction.

Across all four books you can expect high heat, fast pacing, and a lighter tone than some of Madison’s more angsty series. The stories still deliver emotional beats and character growth, but they’re wrapped in office pranks, flirty text messages, and a lot of scenes that start with two people insisting they’re absolutely not interested in a relationship. Readers looking for quick, fun, modern romances will find plenty to devour here.
