Welcome to the world of the Elite where money flows freely, morals are questionable and the forbidden is a daily temptation... When my relationship of ten years went up in smoke, I disappeared from the world of the Elite to lick my wounds and focus on my dreams. But when my brother ended up arrested with charges against him that could see him put away for life, an old friend became the knight in shining armor we needed. When my life comes under threat from the notorious gang known as the Forsaken, I find myself staying at my old friends' place for protection. What I didn't expect was to find myself tempted by his charming ways and I soon discover that I may need protection not only from the people hunting me down, but also the man who is threatening to steal my heart... Forbidden Desire is a fast-burn standalone romance with billionaire/millionaire vibes and a HEA but it is part of an interconnected world. This is technically set alongside the same timeline as book two in Sinners Bay if you wish to read in order. All books can be read at any point however if you want to get the most enjoyment start with book one in Sinners Bay - These Sinful Delights and then continue to this book.
