Forbidden Purity

Innocence can be lost in the blink of an eye, or in sweet Tara's case, under the fury of a thunderstorm. Tara has long been infatuated with the man she's grown up with under the same roof most of her life, Andrew. As college and other responsibilities beckon them, Tara knows her time with that boy is running out and she'll eventually need to give up her fantasy. But Andrew drops a bombshell on her: he's in love with her too.

There's just one problem. No one will ever be accepting or supportive of their relationship -- unless, Tara surmises, they're forced to.

If Tara has her way, she'll lose her innocence and gain something so much more, and that something will reside in her belly.
