rom Book 1:

From New York Times Bestseller and BookTok sensation Rina Kent comes the thrilling Empire series where power, obsession, and dark desires collide.

My forbidden husband.

I kissed my father’s best friend and it kind of didn’t go well.
Not only because he’s eighteen years older than me—but he also didn’t like it.
Not one bit.
In my defense, I didn’t mean to fall for him. It just happened.
Nathaniel Weaver is the most attractive man I’ve ever seen with enough charisma to blind the sun.
He’s bigger than the world, owns half of it and conquered the other half.
He was forbidden.
Wrong.
So I totally got over him. Or so I told myself.
Until we’re forced to get married.
Now I’m trapped.
But maybe he’s trapped too.
Because we’re both reaching for that forbidden fruit dangling between us.

Tropes:

• Age gap romance
• Marriage of convenience
• Forbidden romance
• Father’s best friend

Empire of Desire is a complete standalone. No other books should be read prior to this.
