In a world where secrets lurk in the shadows, and danger is never far behind, two unlikely allies are thrown together by fate-and the tension between them is as dangerous as the enemies they must face.
Liam Bennett is a stoic, no-nonsense ex-soldier turned mercenary, known for his ruthless efficiency and unwillingness to trust anyone-least of all, a tech genius. With a dark past that haunts him and a heart hardened by years of covert operations, he works alone, relying on raw instincts and firepower to get the job done.
Ivory Miles, on the other hand, lives in the world of codes and computers. She's a brilliant hacker, with a knack for decrypting the most encrypted systems and gathering intelligence from the most hidden corners of the digital world. She's quick, brilliant, and emotionally distant, always relying on logic over action-and in a world that thrives on chaos, she believes that it's the only way to survive.
"Forbidden Desires" is a heart-pounding, dangerous romance set against the backdrop of deep conspiracies, high-tech espionage, and a thrilling mystery, where opposites truly attract-and every choice could lead to either salvation or destruction.

TELL ME WHO I AM! | Dark Romance | Psychological Thriller |
She wakes up in a stranger's bed, a diamond ring glimmering on her finger - a symbol of promises she cannot remember - a vow forged in a past that's been stolen from her. Everyone says she's fortunate. That she's blessed. That a beautiful home, a devoted fiancé, and a spotless future await her. But when her pulse falters under his gentle touch... when her skin shivers instead of warming - something deep within resonates with the alarming feeling that something is profoundly, dangerously wrong. He insists it's for her own safety - that something awful happened, that healing simply takes time - but there's a fire in his eyes, a possessiveness he cannot mask. And somewhere in her mind, a locked box rattles against its chains. And at night, in the quiet... she dreams of another man she does not recognize. Until one day he steps out of the shadows. Not with flowers, but with fire, with danger, with a confession forged in the pure agony of a love forgotten. Not with comfort, but with a storm in his eyes and a voice that trembles when he says- "You promised to remember me," he whispers. "Even if the whole world made you forget." He is not kind. He is not patient. His love is wild - a consuming force - a sin that feels more elemental than redemption. The moment he reaches for her, the carefully woven lie starts to unravel, thread by thread, until the awful, beautiful truth emerges. She doesn't know his name. But her soul does. Now, stranded between two men - the man who offers refuge within a perfect illusion and the man who holds the key to a catastrophic reality - she must make a choice. To stay safely oblivious... or to break free and remember the life that was stolen from her. Because someone made sure she forgot. And they'll do whatever it takes to keep it that way. Some truths are dangerous - and some memories are worth everything.Complete

BOOK THREE in the STEAMY FORBIDDEN ROMANCE series -- please read BOOK ONE, Illicit, and BOOK TWO, Explicit, before proceeding with this novel! Coralie Watson wants--no, needs--a break. As her fame rises, so does her infatuation for Chester, her desire for Ryan, and her feelings for Michael. At the urging of her best friends, she blocks them all on social media, to focus on her blossoming career as a singer. But, naturally, the universe isn't done testing her--and neither are the three men her heart can't seem to choose between. Unfollowed on social media? No problem, they know where she hangs out. Blocked numbers? No worries, fate will make it so they bump into her anyway. Coralie can't catch a breath, and her body won't give her any respite as all three men turn her world upside down and cause sensations that she's never even fantasized about. She has to choose--Ryan, Michael, Chester... or none of the above? But as she tries to make up her mind, is there really any harm in having fun? ♥♥♥ This is a work of FICTION. It will have fairly explicit language & sexual content (but I'll put warnings at the top of those chapters, in case those make you uncomfortable--though, hey, YOU CAME BACK YET AGAIN FOR THAT, DIDN'T YOU?!)Complete
