Forbidden Research: An Alpha Male Curvy Girl Librarian Romance

I never meant to catch his eye.

For years, I’d perfected the art of invisibility—drowning my curves in beige cardigans, burying my desires between dusty pages of forbidden classics. As the rare books curator at Metropolitan Library, I was safe in my carefully constructed fortress of literature and loneliness.

Then he walked in.

Cael Blackwood. Six-foot-four of barely restrained power and dominance in an outrageously expensive suit. Security consultant. Alpha male personified. A man who looked at me—really looked at me—like he could see every filthy fantasy I’d ever dreamt up in the darkness of my bedroom.

“Take off those glasses,” he commanded that first night, his voice pure sin against my ear. “I want to see what you’ve been hiding.”

I never expected to become his obsession.

“You’ve spent your life invisible,” he growled against my neck. “I’m going to make sure everyone sees you’re mine.”

As Cael pulls me deeper into his world of exquisite control and explosive pleasure, I discover that true submission requires a strength I never knew I possessed. When protection becomes possession and desire turns dangerous, I must decide: will I retreat to the shadows, or step boldly into the light on my own terms?

One thing’s certain—between the library stacks and his silk sheets, I’ll never look at “quiet” the same way again.

Some books aren’t meant to stay closed.
