Forbidden Desire
by Octavio Fuentes
Orphaned and alone, Penelope Hudson finds sanctuary with the Jacobs family in glittering Las Vegas. What she doesn't expect is Curtis — dark, dangerous, and completely off-limits. Her new "brother" who looks at her like she's both his salvation and his sin. The tension between them is electric from day one. Every family dinner becomes a minefield. Every accidental touch sets them both on fire. For ten agonizing years, they dance around the undeniable pull drawing them together, hiding behind sibling rivalry what their bodies scream to acknowledge. Penelope transforms from the broken girl he rescued into a woman who haunts his dreams. Curtis evolves from her reluctant protector into the man she craves with every breath. But family loyalty demands they bury their desires, no matter how desperately they burn. Then Curtis shatters her world: he's engaged. The perfect woman. The acceptable choice. Everything Penelope can never be in their family's eyes. But some attractions are too powerful to ignore.
