Forbidden Glades (Taboo Brothers)

When a devastating call drags New York fashion designer Sylas ‘Sy’ de Villiers back to Forbidden Glades, his family’s crumbling Louisiana estate, he expects grief, not a life-altering reckoning. 

Forbidden Glades is steeped in secrets—old legends, tangled loyalties, and a will that forces Sy to live for one year with the brother he hasn’t spoken to in nearly a decade. 

Colt de Villiers is no longer the reckless boy Sy remembers; he’s something sharper, darker, and impossible to ignore. As the heat of the bayou closes in and long-buried tensions resurface, the brothers are pushed into a fragile truce that quickly becomes something far more dangerous—and far more intoxicating. 

But the deeper they go, the more the house—and its history—seems to tighten around them. Hidden rooms, unsent confessions, and a legacy built on forbidden love blur the line between past and present. What begins as obligation turns into obsession, and as desire collides with family, morality, and survival, Sy must decide—walk away and lose everything, or embrace a love that could destroy them both. In Forbidden Glades, some secrets refuse to stay buried… and some desires refuse to be denied.
