Forbidden desire has never burned so intensely... * * * * * Three years ago, Joslyn Leann Patel crossed paths with Gabriel Nicholas Reid—a man her best friend called "sex on legs." Three years ago, Gabriel discovered that Joslyn's sharp tongue was just as talented elsewhere, exceeding every fantasy he'd conjured. That single night became unforgettable, their destinies irreversibly intertwined. Two years forward, Gabriel found himself entangled with another woman, yet Joslyn haunted his every waking moment—and aroused his every sleeping one. The memories clung to him like a second skin he couldn't shed. Fate orchestrated their reunion when Gabriel met his girlfriend's most-talked-about best friend. She was Joslyn. Electric tension crackled between them, unspoken and impossible to act upon. Now single and unshackled, Gabriel pursues what he's craved for three relentless years. But destiny deals a twisted hand when his mother announces her engagement to a man her own age. The fiancé? Joslyn's father. Suddenly, everything that made them burn becomes profoundly, dangerously wrong. A taboo love affair ignites hottest when it's forbidden.
