(Forbidden is no longer for purchase as a stand-alone short story. It is now at the end of Bound Darkly both in the paperback and ebook formats) Cian, a seasoned seelie guardsman, has lost his heart to a human. There’s a reason contact between humans and fey is forbidden: more often than not, enchantment is the result. He may have lost his heart, but Elizabeth could lose herself if he isn’t vigilant. To give himself strength, Cian recites the rules he has sworn to follow. He must never touch her or let her know that he is real. He must remain invisible to her eyes—an unspoken shadow in her world. Above all, he must keep her safe, even from himself. But Cian longs to see the warmth of recognition shining from her eyes, to pass the time conversing with her, to touch her heart and hear her sigh in his arms. He must be careful. He has already broken one rule. Can he keep himself from breaking all the others?
