Forbidden

Rhine Fontaine is building the successful life he's always wanted--one that depends upon him passing for White, but after rescuing the beautiful Eddy Carmichael, he wishes, for the first time in years, that he could step out from behind the facade. Eddy owes her life to Rhine, but she won't risk her heart for him. As soon as she's saved enough money from her cooking, she'll leave this Nevada town and move to California. Giving in for just one night might quench this longing. Or it might ignite an affair as reckless and irresistible as it is forbidden . . .
