Tom Harrington x Mariam Zahra
#3rd book of the forbidden series.
In a world of power and secrets, their connection is a dangerous temptation.
Mariam is a dancer, but it's not the art she loves-it's the survival. Her performances are a silent rebellion, forced by the man who controls her every move, YK. She hates the spotlight, the vulnerability, but it's the only way to stay alive.
Then there's Tom, a British officer whose icy exterior hides a man on the edge. When he encounters Mariam, something about her-her defiance, her strength, and her undeniable presence-pulls him in, even as he knows it could cost him everything.
Their worlds shouldn't collide. He's a soldier of the empire; she's a woman caught in the web of power and politics. But in the midst of tension, betrayal, and impossible choices, their growing bond becomes a dangerous game. Neither can escape the pull of what they feel-but can they survive it?
Some passions are born from danger, and some are meant to destroy.

Book 1: Velvet Chains
Blandina "Dina" Rose was raised in a world where control masked as protection. Born to a wealthy but cold political dynasty, her life has always been dictated-what to wear, who to smile for, what secrets to bury. But at twenty-seven, she's done playing the perfect daughter. On the run from an arranged engagement that's more power-play than romance, Dina vanishes into the underground world of exclusive erotic clubs where identities are masked, desires are raw, and no rules exist. There, she becomes "Rose," a mysterious, submissive siren who surrenders her body but guards her heart. When she's claimed by a dark, dominant stranger who calls himself Cain, her boundaries begin to blur-because Cain isn't just any man. He's the one person forbidden to her: her father's former protégé turned political rival, a man whose ambitions could destroy her family... and whose mouth writes confessions across her skin. Their chemistry is immediate, brutal, and consuming-built on secrecy, dominance, and mutual obsession. Dina finds herself spiraling into a dangerous addiction, torn between craving his control and fearing how much of herself she's willing to give. But in Cain's world, everything has a price... and soon, love, lust, and betrayal become weapons. As their erotic game deepens into something neither can control, Dina must decide if she's escaping her past-or becoming something darker, hungrier, and far more powerful than she ever imagined.Complete

**WATTPAD HQ EDITOR'S PICK Nov/Dec 2021** BOOK ONE in the STEAMY FORBIDDEN ROMANCE series Coralie Watson, a British thirty-year-old living in San Francisco, has a tormented past with men. Physical and mental abuse, abandonment issues, incompatibility--she feels like she just can't win, and constantly swears to herself that she'll remain single so she can focus on her burgeoning singing/songwriting career. After twelve years in the United States, she often regrets leaving London, her friends, her habits, and dreams of what life might have been like had she not moved. As she slowly settles into a new routine--and has, so far, kept her vow to stay celibate--her past refuses to give her a break. As she reencounters a former boss she'd had a crush on, someone else resurfaces into her life after many years of silence--a boy she met at fifteen, that she'd had deep feelings for. But now he's all grown-up and irresistibly handsome. She always considered him the "one that got away", and is shocked when he confesses he feels the same way about her. The problem? He's a successful business man who can't afford a scandal, he's married to a supermodel wife, and has two beautiful daughters. Yet none of that seems to stop him from making Coralie promise that next time she's in London, they need to meet and catch up... What's the harm in that? ♥♥♥ 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 HERE FOR THAT, DIDN'T YOU?!)Complete
