Undeniably Forbidden, the second book in the Boston’s Irresistible Billionaire series, showcases a brooding billionaire doctor and single dad who finds love with his daughter’s nanny. For those seeking a steamy, emotional, and entertaining tale, look no further than Undeniably Forbidden.
In my defense, I had no clue the gorgeous guy I had a wildly steamy night with was my brother's best friend. Or the single dad of the little girl I was about to nanny.

I hadn't seen Dr. Owen Fritz since I was twelve and he was twenty-four, but even back then, I didn't care much about him.
He was doing his billionaire, master-of-the-universe, medical school thing, and I was too into art and books to notice anyone.
Now he's cold and broody, but he doesn't scare me the way he does everyone else.
He's been scarred, but I've been scarred worse.
We both promise to leave that night in the past, vowing to keep this secret between us and stay professional from now on.
Especially since I'm living with him—sleeping down the hall from him—and his adorable little girl.
Until one night of hell changes everything and all those promises we've been struggling to keep don't just break, they shatter.
Now there's no holding him back.
And the more he watches me with those magnetic eyes or whisks me into dark corners and puts his heated hands on my body, the more I forget why what we're doing is so undeniably forbidden.
We're playing with an unstoppable fire.
And we're both about to get burned.
Dr. Owen Fritz isn’t in the market for a long-term relationship; his daughter’s welfare is his paramount concern, and introducing a woman into their lives would be disruptive. Thus, when he encountered the vibrant and attractive Estlin, a meeting that occurred only because his best friend had to cancel their plans, he intended it to be a single night’s affair. Yet, destiny had a different plan for them. Imagine his surprise the following day, when he discovers the true identity of his one-night stand. His best friend’s sister and his daughter’s prospective Nanny. Indeed, what a predicament!
Owen knew that having Estlin in his home would be a significant challenge. Owen made up his mind to resist the attraction between them, prioritizing his daughter’s well-being and his friendship with her brother. However, as the saying goes, the road to hell is often paved with good intentions.
It puzzled me why they believed maintaining a professional relationship would come easy. It’s common knowledge that a single taste of the forbidden fruit often leads to an insatiable desire for more, especially when it’s constantly within reach. Estlin and Owen were bound to discover this the hard way—pun intended. The intrigue heightened as they attempted to conceal their relationship from family and friends. One could only speculate how long they could keep their secret before it eventually blew up in their faces. Fortunately, when the truth came to light, the fallout was not excessively dramatic, and ultimately, everything resolved positively.
Owen captivated me when I met him in “Undeniably Convenient,” so delving into his story in “Undeniably Forbidden” was delightful. His lack of arrogance, entitlement, and self-absorption was refreshing. His love for his daughter drove him, and he would do everything to protect her, even at the expense of his own desires. Estlin, an up cand coming artist, is striving to leave her mark on the world. After a hit to her confidence, she’s piecing it back together, one painting at a time. Despite their differences, they found common ground in the unexpected betrayals by their ex-partners. As a couple, they complemented each other perfectly, providing exactly what the other needed.
If you’re not a fan of particularly steamy romances, then this book might not be to your taste. However, for those who enjoy a more intense level of passion, ‘Undeniably Forbidden’ would be a perfect choice.
