Unforbidden Love

Book excerpt: Sean O'Malley was frustrated. His musical career was showing promise, thanks to a song he wrote based on a poem written by a popular Middle-Eastern Prince. Then, his mother suddenly took ill and died, leaving him the family diner to run. As an only child, Sean had to either close the popular establishment, or take over and run it as his mother had taught him. Even though his dreams were with his music, his heart told him he needed to keep his mother's legacy alive. To top it off, Sean was miserably lonely as well. His manipulative boyfriend dumped him and it appeared life was not going to give him the chance to find the right man to love.Prince Mohammed Yahtama Abdul, "Tama" as he was known popularly-was next in line for the throne of a small, wealthy Middle-Eastern nation. He was young, internationally loved due to his charity work, wildly popular from the poems he wrote that were known world-wide, and he had a penchant for extreme sports and cooking. He had everything a man could want, as long as he continued to hide his true identity. Tama was gay-forbidden in his world-and all he wanted was to find a man to love. He had everything, but felt totally alone. Then an unknown musician from half a world away captures his feelings of despair in a song based on one of his poems.Fate brings these two men together on social media, where they share their stories, and feelings begin to grow between them. Can Tama find a way to leave his luxurious life to live out and proud? Can he help Sean with his diner dilemma, so he can once and for all pursue his musical dreams? Can Sean and Tama find a way to be happy together, or will their pasts come back to haunt them? Only time will tell if they will be able to share Unforbidden Love.
