Forbidden Desires: First Book in The Forbidden Series by Helge Thorsen
A dying wife. A forbidden desire. A love story that should never have happened — but refused to be denied.
Tom Andersen is a devoted husband watching his world collapse as his wife loses her battle with cancer. When Rosalyn Hansen, the new home nurse, arrives with gentle hands and quiet strength, Tom finds something he hasn't felt in months: connection. Life. Heat.
Neither of them intends to cross a line.
Neither of them is strong enough not to.
Behind closed doors, in a house filled with sorrow, a tender and explosive bond forms. When Anne dies, Tom and Rosalyn are left with a love that feels both catastrophic and inevitable — and a world ready to condemn it.
As Tom's adult children pull away, Rosalyn's teenage daughters resist, and a newborn baby brings both joy and chaos, the couple must fight not only for each other, but for the fragile, imperfect family they are trying to build.
And just when life finally begins to settle, a woman from Tom's past arrives… carrying a secret that could shatter everything.
