Fantastic Fiction Nora Roberts

Nora Dalton’s life collapses in a single night. Her parents are murdered, her brother is kidnapped, and her fiancé abandons her for a richer family alliance. When the man responsible for her destruction—Adriano Greco, the feared mafia heir—forces her into an engagement contract, Nora agrees only to save her brother. Adriano believes Nora’s family destroyed his, and he is determined to take everything she has left. But as Nora enters his dangerous world, she begins to see cracks in the monster everyone fears. He protects her, shields her with his own body, and his enemies become her enemies. When the truth behind their families’ past begins to unravel, Nora discovers the real villain is someone far more powerful—someone who manipulated both sides and wants them all dead. Caught between revenge, betrayal, and a forbidden pull she can’t explain, Nora must decide if the man she swore to kill is the only one who can save her. Their forced engagement becomes a war of hearts and secrets— and the truth may destroy them before love has the chance to save them.

Twenty-year-old Nora Ale has perfected the art of being the family disappointment—dropped out of university, working as a barista, collecting tattoos instead of achievements. So when her flawless, overachieving sister announces she’s marrying a wealthy tech CEO, Nora braces herself for months of feeling invisible. Then she meets the bride. Celine Hartman is everything Nora isn’t—poised, brilliant, intimidatingly gorgeous. But when Celine’s gaze lands on Nora, it lingers. Too long. Too warm. Too wrong. What starts as harmless tension becomes impossible to ignore: shared glances at wedding fittings, late-night drives neither of them should be on, and messages that read like confessions disguised as jokes. Celine is engaged to Nora’s sister… yet looks at Nora like she’s the one she’s been waiting for. But Celine’s perfect life is built on secrets, and her marriage to Aaliyah is hiding a truth that could blow up both families. As the wedding countdown ticks forward, attraction turns to obsession, honesty becomes dangerous, and Nora must choose between the sister who never truly saw her… and the bride who sees right through her. Forbidden never felt this good. And falling for the bride might be the biggest mistake Nora ever makes— or the only right thing she’s ever done.
