Forbidden

Bookish and near-virginal, I arrive in New York City to live.

I expected a quiet life working in the NYC library, but I’m shocked when I find the bachelor my mother arranged me to stay with is a hot broody Italian billionaire.
Living with the CEO movie mogul in his Manhattan penthouse is soon perfect.
The only thing is, Lorenzo won’t take me and claim me as his. Even if I walk around half-naked and even if I tease him wickedly in every way possible. Maybe I’m right, an maybe he has been warned.

Bookish and near-virginal, I arrive in New York City to live.

I expected a quiet life working in the NYC library, but I’m shocked when I find the bachelor my mother arranged me to stay with is a hot broody Italian billionaire.
Living with the CEO movie mogul in his Manhattan penthouse is soon perfect.
The only thing is, Lorenzo won’t take me and claim me as his. Even if I walk around half-naked and even if I tease him wickedly in every way possible. Maybe I’m right, an maybe he has been warned.
Maybe to him, I am forbidden.
After dating disasters in competitive NYC, I ask Lorenzo to turn me into a hunk magnet. Following a bumpy start, Lorenzo agrees to dig in. He then advises me on adjusting my small-town looks, becoming the catch of the town, and becoming as sophisticated as all F!
I give my all, but because I’ve only been bedded by a single small-town ex, my results are tragic. Grumpy finally caves and he agrees to coach me on kissing and making out.
Our make-out workshops get hazy fast, and my dream to have the hot Italian spins out of control.
He then not only claims me as his… He claims me as his forever!
