FORBIDDEN AFTER MIDNIGHT

When Claire returns home to find her life stripped bare—her boyfriend gone and her savings stolen—she decides she needs a fresh start. She wants one night of freedom, one unforgettable escape from the betrayal that shattered her world.

Then fate brings Dante into her path.

Their connection is instant, intense, and impossible to resist. Claire promises herself it will be nothing more than one passionate night. No names, no attachments, and certainly no future. She plans to disappear before morning and leave the memories behind.

But fate has other plans.

Just when Claire begins to rebuild her life, she is unexpectedly reunited with her estranged father—and meets the son she never knew he had.

Dante.

The man she thought she’d never see again.

Now their one-night encounter has become something far more complicated. And Dante has no intention of letting Claire walk away a second time.

Can Claire escape the man who has found his way back into her life, or will the secrets of their past—and the ties of their newfound family—force them to confront a love neither of them saw coming?
