Some rules are meant to be broken… especially when desire is this forbidden.

Ali Martin is done being underestimated. Top of her nursing class, sharp, ambitious, and hungry for the promotion she deserves—nothing will stand in her way this time. Not rumors. Not old mistakes. And definitely not distractions.

Until Johanna Vialdi walks into her ward.

Bright-eyed, breathtaking, and one of the recruits Ali is supposed to train, Jo is everything Ali can’t afford to want. A workplace fling is risky enough—but with her own mentee? Unthinkable. So Ali builds her armor of ice, determined to keep her distance.

But Jo has her own fire. Haunted by the breakdown that ended her last job, she’s desperate to prove herself. And no matter how harsh, how demanding, how infuriating her new boss may be, the chemistry between them is undeniable… and unstoppable.

As passion collides with ambition, Ali faces the promotion opportunity of her dreams—and the greatest risk of her career. Because falling for Jo could cost them both everything.

"Forbidden Desire" is Book Two in the "Alive With Desire" series—a steamy, emotional, forbidden workplace lesbian medical romance where ordinary women discover that sometimes the most dangerous love is the one you can’t walk away from.
