Forbidden

By D.C. Maren

Some love stories should never happen... and yet they do.

Emma Marks knows what it means to lose everything, her parents, her innocence, her sense of safety. Living under her brother Alex's protective watch, she was supposed to keep her head down, stay out of trouble, and prepare for the future. But fate had other plans.

Max Evans, Alex's best friend and the one man Emma should never want, is everything she can't resist. Older, untouchable, dangerously off-limits. One stolen moment turns into an obsession neither of them can control. Their connection is raw, magnetic, and destructive, burning brighter because it's forbidden.

As secrets unravel and betrayals cut deep, Emma is forced to confront the wreckage of desire, family loyalty, and heartbreak. Between the glittering nights at Silk, the lies that bind them, and the pull she can't escape, Emma must decide:

Will she walk away before it destroys her, or surrender to a love that was never meant to survive?

Forbidden is a steamy, emotionally charged new adult romance full of heartbreak, betrayal, obsession, and a love that tempts fate itself.
