Let your
hair down, Caroline, they said. It'll be fun, they said.
I know
I've closed myself off in a major way in the past year, ever since “the
incident” where I messed up my life completely. It's past time I try to live
again or just give up completely. But this is quite possibly the craziest thing
I've ever done. In a last ditch effort to invigorate myself, I'm standing
outside Oren Tenning's bedroom, I just peeled off the sexiest pair of underwear
I own, and my hand is already raised to knock. My brother would disown me for
doing anything with his best friend, and he'd probably kill Oren. But if I play
my cards right, no one will ever know about this. Not even Ten.
Maybe
after tonight, I’ll finally get over this stupid, irrational crush I hate
having on the biggest jerk I’ve ever met. Or maybe I’ll just end up falling for
him even harder. Maybe I’ll discover there’s so much more to my crude, carefree
hunk than meets the eye.
The entire notion was
crazy. I would never in a million years actually go through such a thing.
An hour later, thousands
of voices in my head shrieked. “For the love of God, Caroline. What’re you
doing?”
“Shh,” I hissed at the
annoying shits. “I’m doing this.”
I slipped inside the front
door to Quinn, Oren, and Zoey’s apartment. If anyone caught me, I already had
an excuse handy. I was here to see Zoey. To talk important girl stuff. Yeah.
That sounded good. And I really would talk to her if I was caught...about the fact
that I’d lost my ever-loving mind!
Pausing at the beginning
of the hall, I took a moment to bolster my nerve. Oren’s bedroom was the first
door on the right. Only ten feet away. Drawing in a deep breath, I started to
step forward when an idea hit me. Scrambling, I reached under my skirt for the
panties I’d raced home to change into, and I peeled them down my legs.
I know, I know. They were
the nicest underwear I owned. Why was I taking them off before he could even
see the goods? Well, probably because, if we stayed in the dark like we were
supposed to, he’d never see them anyway. And tonight, I just wanted to be bold
and promiscuous. If I was really going to do this, I was going to do it right.
Pantyless, I stopped in
front of his door and lifted my palm, but instead of knocking, I set my fingers
against the wood. He was on the other side of this door, waiting for me.
Okay, fine, waiting for
some other girl. But if I knocked and went inside, it’d be me he took.
A thrill raced up my
spine, and butterflies danced in my stomach.

Five Facts about the Forbidden Men Series
1. The idea for the first book in the series came about thirty seconds after I read the blurb for Abbi Gline’s “Just For Now.” Loved the thought of a noble male prostitute, so I had to have one for myself!
2. I didn’t plan on making The Forbidden Men a series until I tossed Mason into Chapter Four of To Professor with Love.
3. There were no plans for a story for Ten until the very end of To Professor with Love when he met Caroline and the sparks instantly flew.
4. Original names for the Forbidden Men came because I wanted them in alphabetical order: Mason, Noel, Oren, Pick, Quinn...but it ended up, their stories didn’t come in that order. And since I’m adding more men (like Asher), my alphabetical scheme is all messed up!
5. My grand plan is to have nine books in the series before everything is said and done.
- Price of a Kiss (Mason-Her POV)
-To Professor, with Love (Noel)
-Be My Hero (Pick)
-With Every Heartbeat (Quinn)
-A Perfect Ten (Ten/Oren)
-Worthless (Knox—he’s new!)
-Rhythm & Dudes (Asher—title will mostly likely change)
-Priceless (Brandt, Noel’s brother, and Sarah, Mason’s sister)
And then we’ll wrap the series up by revisiting book one with...
-The Price of Mason (Mason-His POV)
