FORBIDDEN GAMES is a combined re-release of Make Me Want and Make Me Crave by author Katee Robert.
In Make Me Want, Lucy Baudin needs help getting her confidence back after an ex crushed her self-esteem. She needs a fiancé to help her make a partner in the law firm she has worked for years at, and they want stable committed partners. She knows only one man who can help her find the right man. Gideon Novak is a headhunter – his job is to find the right person for the job. The last thing he ever expected was for Lucy to want to hire him to find the right person for her. The truth is that he has been in love with her for years. Will he be able to convince her that he is the right man for the job? Can he teach her to trust his touch and his love?
In Make Me Crave we find dealmaker Roman Bassani who finds himself caught between a rock and a hard place and the thrill of it is what makes him who he is. Allie Landers had managed to get away to a private island and met up with an irresistible stranger to have a quick fling with. Only Roman is not exactly a stranger. He makes deals and one he was working on was Allie and her woman-focused fitness company. He has an investor who would love to invest in her company, but the problem is he can’t tell her who the investor is – per his contract with this person. Allie isn’t about to trust him and just hand over the business that had become her life. She had already handed her heart.
