Forbidden Loves and Dashing Lords pairs heroines with lords whose affections put them at odds with the expectations of polite society. The four books, published between 2020 and 2021, each explore a different kind of social barrier that stands between the couple and their happiness.
The “forbidden” element varies from book to book, but the common thread is that these are not straightforward matches. Whether the obstacle is a difference in station, a prior engagement, or a family rivalry, each story builds its central tension around why the match should not work and how the characters find their way to each other anyway.
