Forbidden is another word for having everything to lose. A quirky rock star and her fierce Secret Service agent fight a forbidden attraction while on the run. As the Vice President's daughter and his current assignment, Leya Singh is completely off-limits. Special Agent Holden Kent refuses to let his desire for The Painted Daisies singer and sitar player cost him the future he's worked his entire life to achieve. Not when his goal of working on the Presidential detail is finally within his grasp. Leya always believed great passion wasn't in the cards for her. But the way her body lights up around Holden has her questioning everything she thought was true, including the arranged marriage waiting for her. When a hate group targeting Leya's father sets its sights on her, the fear that she was the intended victim the night her bandmate was murdered blooms into reality. Determined to get answers and protect her, Holden is forced to take her into hiding, where his carefully guarded walls start to crumble. Having only one bed is still no excuse to touch her...until touching is their only choice. But if he lets his focus slip, it'll be Leya who pays the price, and Holden refuses to be the reason her enemies find her.
