100 Proof

by Shanora Williams

2017

Vin is a recovering alcoholic who never got over Marley, the woman he loved first. Seeing her engaged to his brother drags him back into old obsession, family damage, and a messy second chance.

Series background & context

Forbidden Treat is a one-book setup, but it still carries the same big emotional weather Shanora Williams brings to her longer series. The book tied to this page is 100 Proof, a second-chance romance built around addiction, family tension, and one very bad complication, the hero is still in love with the woman who is now engaged to his brother.

Vin is not introduced as a polished hero. He is a recovering alcoholic with a history of messing things up, and the book does not let him off easy. Marley is not standing still either. She is part of the same painful past he cannot outrun, and seeing her attached to someone else forces all the old hurt back to the surface.

That makes the story messy in a very deliberate way.

The hook here is not just forbidden attraction. It is the way recovery, regret, family pressure, and unresolved love all hit at once. Vin has to face the man he has been, not just the woman he wants. Marley has to decide whether history is something you heal from or something you can actually return to.

If you like emotional contemporary romance with rough edges, this page will point you in the right direction. 100 Proof is not light, but it is direct, passionate, and built around people who want each other even when common sense says they should run the other way.
