The Man I was Forbidden to Love

Genre: Contemporary Romance • Romantic Suspense • Family DramaAmara Bell has spent five years living beneath the shadow of her father’s crime. Her father was convicted of murdering billionaire Richard Vale—a crime that destroyed their family and left Amara struggling to rebuild the life they lost. He died in prison still claiming he was innocent, but Amara stopped believing him long ago. Until the night before his death. He leaves her one final message:“I didn’t kill Richard Vale. But the man who did will never let you find the truth.” Five years later, Amara is offered a job at Vale Enterprises—the very empire built on the ruins of her family. Her employer is Damien Vale, Richard Vale’s eldest son and the ruthless heir to the company. Damien knows exactly who Amara is. To him, she is the daughter of the man who destroyed his family. To Amara, he is the son of the man whose death destroyed hers. Neither trusts the other. Neither intends to fall in love. But when Damien discovers that Amara may possess a clue connected to his father’s murder, he keeps her close, determined to uncover the truth before she can disappear with it. Amara has her own reason for staying. She believes the answers to her father’s innocence are hidden somewhere inside Vale Enterprises. What begins as a dangerous game of suspicion soon becomes something neither of them can control. Arguments become attraction. Suspicion becomes desire. And a carefully arranged fake relationship begins to feel frighteningly real. But just when Amara finally allows herself to believe Damien may be different from the man she thought he was, she discovers a devastating secret:Damien has been hiding evidence that could prove her father was innocent. He claims he was protecting his family. Amara sees only betrayal. She walks away from the man she loves—and straight into the truth that has been buried for five years. Richard Vale wasn’t murdered because of a business dispute. He was killed because he discovered a secret capable of destroying his entire family. And the person who ordered his death is someone Damien has spent his entire life protecting. Now Amara has evidence that could clear her father’s name. Damien has a choice: protect the family that raised him or expose the truth and lose everything. As the Vale empire begins to crumble, Amara must decide whether the man she was taught to hate is actually the man she can trust. Because sometimes the most dangerous person to love is the one person who can destroy everything you’ve ever believed. And sometimes the greatest love story begins with two people who were never supposed to meet. He was the son of the man who destroyed her family. She was the woman he was supposed to hate. Neither planned to fall in love. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: The Man I was Forbidden to Love — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
