When crushing news from the doctor puts her life in check, Hannah is faced with challenges no girl of her age is equipped to handle, and she must rely on unconventional allies for support. Allies The Reaper certainly won’t approve of. Follow two love stories; each just as deadly as the other. Being together might be dangerous, but outlaws are meant to break the rules. "Forbidden is an intense story that quickly had me by the throat. It's genuine, realistic, and serious plot, along with multiple perspectives help the reader connect with, if not one, multiple characters. This one book purposely ends with many unanswered questions, setting up the plot for the next book in the series. I am interested not only in further development of existing characters, but also the introduction of new characters such as Rex." - Sarah "Every event and emotion was so real. The fear of getting into a relationship with a man so close in relation and so far in age. The guilt Reaper feels when he hits Hannah was heart touching, he knew how sensitive his daughter is and knew that it was a huge mistake which could end his relationship with her. Moreover, where Eve is strong and outspoken, we see a sensitive side of her for her twin. It was well written. Bravo!" - Vrinda

Robert’s life was spiralling dangerously out of control, causing he and Alysia’s friendship to falter and eventually fall apart. But regardless of his devastation at the loss of his best friend, he knew two things to be true. One, Alysia was too good, too pure, and too important to let his demons darken her world. And two, he didn’t intend on sticking around longer than he absolutely had to when he aged out of the foster system. Both of these reasons only served to make it blindingly clear that it was better to let her go sooner rather than later. Especially seeing as his heart, and hers were already becoming too involved.

    So when successful, kind-hearted Jack Hughes—with his home in Silicon Valley, his safely remarried ex-wife, and his two grown children—proposed, it seemed like a dream come true. After all, how hard could it be? All you had to do was be nice to everybody and you’d all get along. Welcome to the perilous world of the second wife, where nothing turns out quite as expected. With an unemployed, unmotivated stepson who declares he’s moving in “temporarily,” a stepdaughter who oozes scorn, and a husband who’s hiding something, Lynn’s imagined domestic bliss begins to crack. Add in an ex-wife who shows up at inopportune times, a law partner who may be involved in illegal dealings, and a client whose attractions prove far too tempting, and Lynn finds both her marriage and her career could be in trouble. Not even the Anne Boleyn Society—an informal support group for second wives—has all the answers. Sure, they can commiserate when Lynn says, “I never thought it would be so hard,” but they don’t know the half of it… “A smart, darkly funny novel about the plight of a second wife… Lynn’s wryly funny, rueful voice is what makes Secret Lives appealing.” —Diane White, BOSTON GLOBE “Sassy, irreverent, and smart. Catherine Todd has a wicked sense of humor.” —Carla Neggers, bestselling author of the Sharpe & Donovan series “Not only should this book be required reading for any second wife as well as anyone contemplating a second marriage, but it’s a riveting, beautifully written story on its own. I stayed up very late reading just to see how Lynn worked through the same turbulent mess that hits so many Second Wives who enter into a marriage without realizing how much baggage inevitably comes along with it. VERY HIGHLY recommended." —RENDEZVOUS MAGAZINE
