Join Dozen Read Proses in celebrating Black History Month by discussing renowned romance writer, Bevery Jenkins's Forbidden.

Rhine Fontaine is building the successful life he's always dreamed of—one that depends upon him passing for White. But for the first time in years, he wishes he could step out from behind the façade. The reason: Eddy Carmichael, the young woman he rescued in the desert. Outspoken, defiant, and beautiful, Eddy tempts Rhine in ways that could cost him everything . . . and the price seems worth paying.

Eddy owes her life to Rhine, but she won't risk her heart for him. As soon as she's saved enough money from her cooking, she'll leave this Nevada town and move to California. No matter how handsome he is, no matter how fiery the heat between them, Rhine will never be hers. Giving in for just one night might quench this longing. Or it might ignite an affair as reckless and irresistible as it is forbidden . . .

Beverly Jenkins has been a leading the charge for inclusive romance since the early 90's. Jenkins has been awarded the 2017's Romance Writers of America's Nora Roberts Lifetime Achievement Award and the 2016 Romantic Times Reviewers’ Choice Award for historical romance. Jenkins has also been nominated for the NAACP Image Award in Literature and was featured in the documentary “Love Between the Covers: Inside the World of Romance Writing” and guest starred on CBS Sunday Morning.
