All of Jared Sinclair’s prosperity still can’t ease the pain from his terrible child years…or his guilt over a recently available tragedy. Struggling to forgive himself, the billionaire house trader buries his emotions, toughens his skin, and becomes a notorious womanizer, refusing to commit his center to a female when he’s confident she wants just his wallet.

But since Jared arrived in Amesport, Maine, he’s been intrigued by Mara Ross, the petite and sexy shop owner who asks nothing of him. When Mara’s store is bought without her understanding, she stands for the brink of losing her house, her livelihood, and years of family history. Then the irresistibly persuasive Jared proposes a business deal to Mara…and soon draws her into a steamy, sensual affair, convincing her that he’s anything but cold. However, whenever a revelation shakes Mara’s fragile trust towards the core, Jared must finally confront the reality about his previous.

In The Forbidden Billionaire, J.S. Scott brings the next section in her passionate Sinclairs series alive.
