A Goodreads user asked Linda Kage:

Reading WORTH IT and it's fabulous. Have you planned all the main stories of the FORBIDDEN MEN series from the start with PRICE OF A KISS or they came along gradually with the progression of your writing? I'm curious to know that.

Linda Kage Hi!! Yay, I'm so glad you like Worth It so far. To answer, no, not at all did I have a series planned. I didn't even plan on tying Price of a Kiss into To Professor With Love unit l hit chapter four when I was like, hey, what if I put Mason in here? And then I thought of another story idea I had that was supposed to be totally unrelated to any book about a shy guy, so I went back and slotted Quinn into chapter one, or wherever he shows up. I had no plans on making a story for Ten AT ALL until he met Caroline, and then I was like...hmm. I'd had an idea for an Eva story, but I totally redid the hero I wanted to hook her up with when I added Pick to the pile. Asher, like Quinn, was an idea for an unrelated story that I decided to add to this series at the end of Be My Hero, and I didn't even think to come up with Knox--or how he tied in to everything--until after I finished A Perfect Ten. So, yeah...it was all a gradual progression!
