Bestselling author, Juliette N. Banks brings another sexy and powerful Dufort man to life in Forbidden Touch that will have you turning the pages and fanning your cheeks. She’s worked for him for over a year. He’s kept his hands clenched and eyes up. Until now. It’s becoming impossible for Fletcher to maintain his distance from his PR Manager, and single mom, Olivia. With flaming red hair and hips begging to be gripped, his need for her is overwhelming. Yet the company policy forbids him. He soon learns it’s not the only reason he should stay away. When her daughter is kidnapped, it’s up to Fletcher to get her back — and perhaps win Olivia’s heart in the process. A friends-to-lovers romance with spice and suspense! Forbidden Touch is the second installment in the Dufort Dynasty series - a billionaire romance. Part office romance, part forbidden romance, and a whole bunch of friends to lovers. It will appeal to anyone who loves steamy billionaire romances, with single moms, protective alpha types, and fated mates. Here’s what readers are saying about Forbidden Touch: “Fletcher is amazing. Just what you want to see in a billionaire romance. He’s a rich playboy that isn’t what the world makes him out to be. He’s sensitive, caring, and loyal. Easy to fall for. Did the book meet my expectations? No. It exceeded them. Most of the billionaire stuff I’ve read is not my cup of tea…these brothers, however, hold my interest and actually have me wanting the next story.’ – Kelly, E “Loved the protective, hero vibe. Making a dreamy man come to life on the pages? That's a fantastic accomplishment. It’s a five-star read and a five-star spice for me! I definitely appreciated the steamy and naughty office play time in this book.” -Terri D What people said about Sinful Duty (book one) "After checking out several books that were sitting on my Kindle, this one got my attention from the first few pages. I honestly wasn't sure about it since billionaire romances are usually a hit or miss for me, but this one turned out to be a hit. I hadn't read the blurb before diving in, so I really wasn't too sure what to expect from this story. I'll admit that a few chapters in, I thought that it might turn out to be another predictable billionaire/forced marriage romance, but it wasn't at all. Daniel Dufort is being blackmailed into marriage, but that's not entirely the focus of this story. It's when Daniel meets romance author Harper Kane at his Hawaii hotel that this story really takes off. The attraction between Daniel and Harper is instant, and it isn't long before Harper has Daniel questioning all of his priorities. This book is steamy, a little angsty, and has a touch of suspense to keep you turning the pages. Sinful Duty is the first book that I've read by Juliette N. Banks, and it's the first book in The Dufort Dynasty series, and I can't wait to read more. - Tammy, But First Let's Read (Bookstagrammer and Amazon top reviewer) Keywords: billionaire, ceo, office, alpha strong heroine, vampire romance, soul mates, fated mates, instalove, romance novel, sexy book, sexy romance book, steamy romance novel, friends to lover, mature heroine romance, alpha hero reads, military romance, instant love, romcom, romantic suspense, office romance, holiday romance, New York romance, enemies to lovers, friends to lovers, alpha hero, alphahole, alpha hole, rejected mates, adventure romance, action romance series, military, military heroes, spicy romance, forbidden lovers, billionaire romance, five star romance, hot reads, mistaken mate, possessive heroes, dominant heroes, page-turner romance, sexy uniform, author romance, writer, danger, secret lover, Hawaii romance, tropical romance, romantic love story, passionate romance, sexy villains, mafia, bad boy romance, MC romance, dark romance, bdsm, taboo romance, billionaire, bad boy, love books, love stories, new adult, holiday, romantic novels, sexually romantic books, guaranteed HEA, no cliffhangers, happily ever after, bestseller, bestselling author If you love these authors, you’ll enjoy this series: Julia Kent, TL Swan, Sierra Rose, Meghan Quinn, Elizabeth O’Roark, Ava Gray, J.T.
