Forbidden Passion by Sophie Adams

Love

Forbidden passion

From the moment Jake, a Marine, laid eyes on Katherine, he wanted her for himself. But the person who was supposed to be his best friend had betrayed him and won her before Jake had had a chance to make his move.  Being honourable, he had backed off from the only woman who had ever managed to arouse deep feelings in him and left town to embark on an official mission in Afghanistan.

Katherine was living the perfect life. She was a good daughter, a respected member of the high society of Raleigh, North Carolina and a volunteer at an animal shelter. She was also the girlfriend of Josh Macgregor, the candidate for Congressman. But this was all a lie. What Katherine really wanted was to go wild, to get a tattoo, go out drinking and have fun but, more than that, she yearned to act on the forbidden passion she felt for Jake.  

Will Katherine and Jake have the courage to break free from the chains that bind them and succumb to the forbidden passion they feel for each other? Will they be able to stand up to society, to the power games and the bitter envy of an unscrupulous man?

Sample text:

While Josh was engrossed in the boring senator’s words, I closed my eyes and was taken away to my special place. The place where I could be free, laugh out loud, feel the breeze in my hair and where my date wasn't just a shit copy of the man who could arouse my deepest and most secret desires.  

Yes, I am a fraud.    

I would say this to myself every day, over and over, but what could I do if I had to settle for second best because the real deal didn’t want me? Whilst the senator talked about morality and good manners, my mind wandered back to the sexy man who hadn’t been out of my mind for about the last two years. Don’t look at me like that. I know I’m a sinner for wanting a man I can’t have and who is totally off limits, especially to me, but I can’t help it that Jake McGregor awakens all the repressed womanhood in me and has done so from the moment I laid eyes on him at that charity ball. He was wearing his marine uniform and he was the hottest man I’d ever seen in my life. Tanned, really short, dark, brown hair, eyes as blue as the color of night and a strong, toned body. He looked in my direction for quite a while and I actually thought he was watching me. Well, until my friend Cheryl came over and rained on my parade, that is.

            “Tonight’s the night I get lucky with Officer Sexy,” she said and I, very reluctantly, tore my eyes away from Jake.
