Shen's addictive Forbidden Love series with this 2-book paperback set pairing Truly Madly Deeply and Wildest Dreams. Set in the glamorous, secret-laced world of the Casablancas family, these interconnected contemporary romances mix grumpy-sunshine chemistry, enemies-to-lovers tension, and a fake-engagement twist that turns dangerously real. Shen's signature blend of biting banter, emotional depth, and slow-burn desire has made this series a favorite among romance readers who crave complicated heroes, resilient heroines, and stories that feel both steamy and heartfelt from the very first page of every chapter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Books\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTruly Madly Deeply introduces Ambrose Casablancas, a Michelin-starred chef who has sworn off distractions until his little sister's best friend, Cal Litvin, walks back into his life. Forced together after Cal returns home following her father's death, the two navigate a fraught shared history, simmering attraction, and the pressure of small-town gossip. The novel unfolds in Ambrose's high-stakes restaurant world, where culinary ambition collides with old wounds and unresolved longing, building toward a grumpy-meets-sunshine romance readers have called one of Shen's most emotionally resonant books. Wildest Dreams follows Rhyland Coltridge, a wealthy and reputation-driven man who strikes a fake-engagement deal with Dylan Casablancas, his best friend's younger sister, to solve problems for them both. What starts as a convenient arrangement to placate a demanding grandfather and fend off an unwanted ex spirals into real, complicated feelings neither is prepared for. As secrets from their pasts resurface and the pretend relationship blurs into something genuine, Shen delivers her trademark mix of humor, heat, and hard-won emotional payoff. Though each book can be read as a standalone, together they form a richly connected world where side characters become leads, and the same family's high society drama deepens with every installment. Fans of workplace tension, found family, and slow-burn tropes will find both novels satisfying on their own while enjoying the added texture of watching the Casablancas family's story grow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete 2-book paperback set of L.J.
