A Forbidden Forever — Mary Anne Graham

Russian gypsy Prince Vladimir Batalova didn't await meeting his soul mate. He'd known her for years. She was the daughter of Tobar, the gypsy who married Vlad's mother and saved her from her abusive marriage. Vlad's noble father abhorred the youngest son produced by his idiotic marriage to a dirty gypsy. Tobar accepted Vlad, treating him as family, equal to his own son, Nic, and his daughter, Mala. Vlad returned Tobar's affection and considered Nic his brother, but Mala? He'd never felt brotherly about Mala.

Vlad spent years dreading the letter that would tell him of Mala's marriage to a fine gypsy lad. Instead of a letter, he got Tobar and Nic delivering Mala to London to save her from certain ravishment. They asked Vlad to fulfill his mother's dying wish: that Mala be brought to him to enter society and find a husband. Now, Vlad must turn the gypsy he loved into a debutante, find her a husband and have her under his roof, within touching distance.

Even with the help of all his friends, the sixth sense he shared with his buddy, Boz, and some faerie magic, Vlad knew he could never find a happily ever after. His forever was forbidden unless he convinced Mala that the bond they had shared wasn't the one they should share â€" and that taking each other was worth losing the family they both adored.
