Forbidden Intent

by Cadence Keys

A steamy age-gap rockstar romance where a drummer falls for his producer’s daughter—and their daily encounters in the recording studio test both his restraint and the trust she is learning to reclaim.

Her father could change his band’s future. Falling for her could risk it all—but staying away gets harder every time she walks into the studio.

About the book

She’s the forbidden fruit tempting me to risk it all. 

I shouldn’t want Tamsin Cross for three very obvious reasons: she’s eighteen, inexperienced, and worst of all, our producer’s daughter. But from the first moment I saw her she drew me in. 

Now I’m forced to see her every time we’re in the studio recording our latest album, and every day I come closer to cracking. 

Until I do. 

And if I thought my imagination of kissing her, touching her, loving her was powerful–it’s nothing compared to the real thing. 

Our relationship might be forbidden, but I’ll put it all on the line for her. 

Forbidden Intent is a steamy age gap, forbidden romance and the second book in the Rapturous Intent Rockstar Series. It is best if it’s read after book one, but it can be read as a standalone. 

Content Warning: This book contains mentions of sexual assault and recovery, drug abuse, overdose, and sudden death. 

Content advisory: Recovery from rape/sexual assault. The sexual assault occurs before the story and is not depicted on page.

Why you may love it

Miles Tallon + Tamsin Cross

Set in Los Angeles / recording studio / USC student context

While Rapturous Intent records with influential producer Decker Cross, drummer Miles Tallon meets the woman he cannot stop thinking about—then discovers she is Decker’s eighteen-year-old daughter. Tamsin is interning in the studio while studying for a future in music publicity, putting them together repeatedly despite the professional stakes and ten-year age gap. Their attraction becomes a secret relationship as Tamsin learns whether she can trust Miles with a part of herself she has struggled to reclaim.

For readers who want forbidden recording-studio chemistry, a ten-year age gap, and a patient drummer falling for the one woman he knows could complicate everything. Tamsin’s dreams and growing trust give this romance an emotional core beyond the producer’s-daughter premise.

Reading order: Can be read as a standalone; reading Noble Intent first is recommended.
