Sweet Temptation by Cora Kent

My father abandoned my mother and me. But he'll pay for his mistakes. I'll take his nearest and dearest. I'll steal his new wife right out from under his nose. Sweet Temptation takes place four years before the start of Sweet Revenge. When Jackson finds out who his father is and what Malcolm will do to keep him a secret, he decides on the ultimate revenge: destruction. When you're backed into a corner, sometimes your only option is to come out swinging. Note: Sweet Temptation sets the scene for Jackson and Carrie's relationship in Sweet Revenge.
