Taboo Online

In a world where superheroes fight villains and ordinary people can only stand by and watch, Luke has spent his entire life with no one to save him.

Homeless, broke, and abandoned by the people who should have cared for him, Luke is given an unexpected second chance when Lauren, a kind and beautiful café owner twice his age, offers him a place to stay.

Lauren only wants to help a young man with nowhere else to go. Luke simply wants to repay the first person who's ever shown him genuine kindness. But as they spend more time together, loneliness, growing attraction, and living under the same roof begin to blur the line between gratitude and something much deeper.

Everything changes when Lauren buys a partner system for the immersive fantasy game **Powerforge Online**. Inside the game, the two can use magic, become powerful heroes, and explore feelings and desires they would never dare face in the real world.

It was only supposed to be a game.

But neither of them realizes that the choices they make online may soon change not only their bodies and their relationship, but also the balance between heroes and villains in the real world.
