Nina Gagliano's obsession with her brother's best friend, Malcolm, is well-known to everyone in the family. He is the only attractive man she desires to be with, even if it means risking her father's wrath. Her emotions are fueled by Malcolm's impressive physique, gentility, and being the only man she has known since childhood.
The only problem is that Malcolm is now considered family since the Gaglianos have taken him as one of their own after his father's disappearance, and romance between family members is forbidden. Nina's father, Marcellus, the leader of the Cosa Nostra gang, expects Malcolm to avoid his daughter by every means.
But not until their first kiss in the gym, when every emotion let loose.
The Forbidden One (part 1) is an impossible-to-put-down story of an intricate romance between Nina and Malcolm.
