Mia's Taboo — Joel Hicks' debut novel, first in a trilogy following Joe and Mia as they navigate their unconventional love story
Buy on AmazonSome relationships don't fit neatly into the space other people leave for them.
When Mia first meets Joe, she's not looking for trouble. But something about him — his quiet intensity, the way he sees her in a way no one else does — pulls her into a world she never expected.
As their connection deepens, Mia finds herself caught between what society says is acceptable and what her heart knows to be true. With Joe, she's finally felt alive. But can their love survive the weight of expectation, the shadow of the past, and the impossible choices that lie ahead?
The Lines Trilogy begins with a story of forbidden attraction, difficult secrets, and the courage it takes to choose love on your own terms.
Once started, the words kept hitting the page. It quickly became apparent that one book wasn't going to be enough — Mia and Joe's story demanded more room to breathe, more chapters to explore what was unfolding between them.
What began as a single novel transformed into a trilogy, each book building on the last, revealing new layers of their relationship and the challenges they face together.
Book 2 — Reckoning with Demons — is due out before the end of March 2026. The story continues, and the stakes only get higher.
