FORBIDDEN KISS is a twist on a very old story. When I realized what the author was doing I was at first apprehensive, but I really enjoyed the way FORBIDDEN KISS is written. You have action, immortals, reincarnation, family feuds that last centuries and everlasting love.
Shannon Leigh puts a lovely twist on one of the most famous and sad love stories of all time. FORBIDDEN KISS is the love story that has waited 600 years to be told.
Jule Casale is the perfect daughter. Obedient.
Trustworthy.
Loyal. With her high profile Italian family, her public

position she's desired in the academic world, she hopes to
discover the unknown artist behind a masterpiece of
Renaissance art.
Rom Montgomery seeks the unobtainable: forgiveness. Those
who could grant him relief are dead. Instead, he wanders
across continents and through time searching for salvation
and the means to right an ancient wrong. But when Jule
comes
knocking on his door, it's the closest he's ever come to
finally finding redemption.
The closer Rom draws to correcting his past mistakes, the
more his secrets threaten to destroy the woman who might
hold the key to his future.
