Best Friend's Mom (The Forbiddens #2)
Izzibella Beau
Mateo Rodriguez has nowhere left to go. When his family falls apart, the only refuge is the quiet home of his best friend’s mother. He expects safety, not salvation.
Sharon Walker has spent years holding everything together alone—her son, her job, her heart. She offers Mateo a room out of kindness. What grows between them is something neither saw coming: a slow-burning, forbidden connection born of shared loneliness and stolen glances.
Every touch is a risk. Every late-night conversation a secret. They build a fragile world inside four walls—until the truth crashes through the door, shattering friendships, family, and the only home either of them had left.
A raw, heartbreaking New Adult romance about betrayal, longing, and the devastating cost of choosing love when everything else says you shouldn’t. Perfect for readers who crave intense, taboo emotional stakes and characters who break—and try to heal—together.
