The Mafia’s Forbidden Desire by Bluemorph

Rosalinda unintentionally witnesses an almost-murder, and getting caught by the man behind the trigger should have instilled fear and despair into her.

The next day, however, she is shocked to find that her sister’s fiancée, Antonio Russo, is the man whose hands had filled her with heat. Choosing to ignore the feelings being stirred inside her for a man that isn’t hers works little as Antonio is unabashed in his pursuit of her, and when their desires overwhelm them, Rosa knows there is no going back from Antonio, even if it means betraying her sister and family.

A compilation of taboo romance books that test the boundaries between pleasure and consequences.

My Husband's Brother by Darcy Bennett

She despised him, but even that too was a lie, much like their relationship. Lorelei loved her husband Lennox, but she couldn't say the same for his older brother Lincoln. They were too different to be associated together and where Lennox was kind, Lincoln was a cruel, devious man.

Problem was, they had history together, and even if she'd vowed to forget it, Lincoln didn't, constantly reminding her of their moments together with every heated glance he tossed her way, confusing her even further. Even a blind man could tell that Lorelei and Lincoln couldn't stand each other. Everything, however, changes when Lincoln crosses the huge line drawn between them, throwing caution to the wind and making the one mistake he'd sworn he never would--stealing his brother's wife.

Stuck Between Two Bad Boys by Bebeeizrael

It was unintentional. She'd always known Xavier, her step brother to be a bully, who cared only about his games, friends and torturing her. Their disgust of each was mutual, or so, she thought.

When Devin, the hottest guy in school takes interest in Emilia, and she starts to develop obvious feelings for him, Xavier's attitude towards her changes completely. He becomes possessive, staking claims over her like she belongs to him.

Caught between a rock (Devin) and an impossibly hard place (Xavier), Emilia knows the obvious choice should be the latter, but her relationship with Xavier is swiftly spiraling out of control.

Step Brothers Raven by Billiejo Priestley

But her father couldn't care less what happened with Raven, and it becomes painfully clear that no one could be bothered about her well-being. Well, except her stepbrothers. Perhaps, it was what made her drawn to them, their love and care. Raven tries to reciprocate the same feelings, but it backfires, as her heart yearns for them in the way a lover does her partner. She craves her stepbrothers in ways they'll hate her for if they ever find out. Or not.
