About this ebook

A chance encounter between two childhood friends, Hercules and Paisley, reignites their forbidden love and challenges their families' bitter feud.


He calls me PG, and my heart skips a beat.


Nobody calls me that but Hercules Lord, the boy, now a man, I've had a crush on since high school.


We could never be together, though. A romance between us is strictly forbidden. The Lords are old money, and my family, the Groves, are new money—and the Groves and the Lords don't mingle. The hate between our families runs deep enough to create an invisible line in the sand that neither of us ever dared to cross.


But that's never stopped us from staring at each other from across a crowded room. And we've always been friends.


Oh! There was that one night seven years ago. I bet Hercules doesn't know that he's my first.


Yet here we are again, gazing into each other's eyes.


But tonight feels different.


We're both adults, fully capable of choosing our own paths.


And our desire for each other wants to defy any restraint.


So truly, honestly... What will happen if we finally and irrevocably cross the line?


Crossing the Line is the first book in the Lords of Manhattan series. This novel can be read as a standalone and ends happily ever after.

I really loved this forbidden love story. It was well written, gave surprisingly good twist and turns and the HEA end I was looking for. Can’t wait to read the next one in the series.

This sounds like a redo of tempting fate of Z. L ARKADIE. I'm confused, in that trilogy his name was a Hercules Valentine. I skimmed through a couple of pages and lake and Mason from TEMPTING FATE and THE Deception is in there too....

I really enjoyed this story about Paige and Hercules. Their families were rivals but they had an attraction to each other that neither could deny. This billionaire love story was sweet and definitely steamy. I really liked both Paige and Hercules and can't wait to read more of the author's books. This is an absolute recommend from me. I love forbidden romances and especially enemies to lovers. Kind of reminds me of Romeo and Juliet but without the tragic ending. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
