FORBIDDEN BY NAME Ophira Blackwell has never been allowed to fall in love. The daughter of billionaire CEO Magnus Blackwell, she's spent 21 years living by her father's rules — no dating, no distractions, just architecture school and a family legacy waiting for her. Her mother Corinne and older brother Damian have been distant memories for most of her life. Then her father remarries. Rosalind Alderaine is kind, warm, everything Ophira didn't expect — and she brings her son, Finnick, into their home. He's quiet. She's guarded. Neither one is looking for this. But some things aren't meant to be avoided forever. With her best friend Bianca in her corner, her old friend Julian watching a little too closely, and a house full of secrets waiting to slip out, Ophira is about to learn that the people closest to you can be the ones who break you — or the ones who catch you. Some names should never be forbidden to each other. *To be continued.
