The Memoirs of my Forbidden Romance

Some love stories are sweet. Theirs is forbidden—and every kiss comes with a consequence.

Once, she belonged to the spotlight—until the spotlight became a cage. Now, with a stolen name, a guarded little girl, and a past that refuses to stay buried, Sarah Rose runs toward the only thing she's never been allowed to have: peace. But in the quiet heat of Louisiana, peace is the one promise fate refuses to keep...because the moment she collides with Miguel Rivera, everything she's escaped comes roaring back.

It's love at first sight—strong, immediate, and utterly unforgiving. Miguel is the kind of man who was born to protect...yet he's already trapped in a life built on duty, family expectation, and a marriage that turned his world into a slow-burning nightmare. Sarah is the woman everyone thinks they know, and no one truly does—because if the wrong person discovers who she is, her freedom shatters, and her daughter's safety goes with it. Wanting Miguel is dangerous. Loving him is forbidden. And walking away feels impossible.

Behind every stolen touch is a threat—an ex-husband who doesn't understand the meaning of "gone," a town that whispers, and secrets that snap like tripwires. The closer Sarah and Miguel get, the more the world turns ruthless: jealousy flares, loyalties fracture, and one wrong move could ignite a war neither of them can afford. But their love doesn't bend. It doesn't negotiate. It demands everything...even when everything is exactly what they stand to lose.

Some love stories are written in ink. Theirs is written in temptation, danger, and a promise neither can break—no matter who comes to collect.
