The Forbidden! series, published between 1992 and 1998, collects thirteen of Charlotte Lamb’s Harlequin Presents novels united by the theme of forbidden attraction. Each book features a romance that society, family, or personal ethics would normally prevent, from A Daughter’s Dilemma to Hot Surrender.
Lamb was drawn to stories about characters who couldn’t resist each other despite knowing they shouldn’t give in. The forbidden element gives these books an added charge, and the variety of taboos explored across thirteen titles keeps the series from feeling repetitive.
