He made the rules…I broke every one.
Griffin Shaw is my grumpy, silver-fox boss—twice my age, and so very tempting.
From day one, we clash. His temper tests and my honesty cuts. He controls everything except me; when I don’t flinch, he notices.
We keep it professional until a hurricane hits and our “quick” business trip becomes a Hamptons lockdown.
One room. One bed. No power. Rules stop mattering.
Friction becomes fire; “off-limits” doesn’t survive the blackout. He finds me in the dark like he’s traced me a hundred times in his mind.
By morning, every touch is evidence and every look a headline. We swear it ends with the storm.
Back in Manhattan, we try space and silence. We fail immediately.
Rumors could topple his empire. He calls it a mistake—to protect his image.
I want a partner who chooses us out loud.
Two pink lines force the truth.
Forbidden has one chance to become forever.
