The Forbidden: A Blackburn Novel (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798330265305)

The prince of his family's Kentucky bourbon empire, Gabriel Mardraggon is a ruthless and cunning businessman. Focused on the continued success of Mardraggon Enterprises, relationships and settling down aren't even on his radar. After all, he's the product of two people who always put money before love. Loyal to the family's creed of winning at all costs, as well as their hatred of the Blackburns, Gabe will never accept peace between the dynasties.

Katherine Blackburn is Gabe's polar opposite-carefree, lighthearted and completely mischievous. Kat works hard as a horse trainer but never hesitates to let her hair down and have a little fun. And lately that has included poking at Gabe and his buttoned-up ways, much to his irritation. Getting a rise out of the cold but gorgeous Mardraggon heir brings Kat unfettered joy, especially given their two families' ugly history together.

Blackburns and Mardraggons are bitter enemies. Any type of relationship would be strictly forbidden. But when Gabe's business dealings hurt Kat in a way he never imagined, his walls crumble and he's forced to lay his feelings for Kat bare. Now Gabe has to decide if he's ready to alter the course of history or walk away from the only genuine thing he's ever known.
