Shayla Black’s Forbidden Confessions is an eleven-book series of romance novellas published between 2017 and 2024. The series began with the “Seducing” titles, including Seducing the Innocent, Seducing the Bride, and Seducing the Enemy, before shifting to “Seduced by” entries like Seduced by the Bodyguard and Seduced by the Assassin. Later installments switch to “Tempted by” titles, including Tempted by the Billionaire and Tempted by the Bosshole.
Each novella is a self-contained story built around a forbidden romantic scenario. Black uses the shorter format to deliver fast-paced, high-heat stories that get straight to the emotional and physical tension between the characters. The series spans several years and shows some evolution in Black’s approach, but all eleven entries share the same focus on characters who cross lines they know they probably should not. Readers who enjoy short, intense romance reads will find plenty to work through here.
