Overview

Eighteen-year-old pastor's daughter Skyler Grace has found her life in a funk. At a time when she should be enjoying life and all it has to offer her before finally escaping into adulthood, Skyler feels lost. The things she should be able to enjoy, like boyfriends and her classmates, leave her feeling empty and disinterested. But a chance meeting with a beautiful and enigmatic female stranger suddenly has Skyler questioning everything about her life. She can't get the sexy and sultry-looking Kaia out of her mind and suddenly finds herself entertaining all sorts of lurid and naughty thoughts. Ideas that a straight girl like Skyler shouldn't be having. Thoughts that suddenly have the auburn-haired young beauty questioning her sexuality.

Kaia has come to town with a single goal in mind. Her lone surviving family member has just passed away and left the former Marine her ramshackle old home. Kaia intends to flip the property, doing most of the work herself. The project comes and her at a good time. Kaia is rehabbing an injured leg and a broken heart, so the thought of focusing her mind and hands elsewhere dramatically appeals to her. The last thing she needs is the chance meeting with Skyler. The gorgeous and seductive-looking teen is everything Kaia doesn't need in her life. So why is it that she can't get sexy young Skyler off her mind?

Lisa Marie Fiorentino had everything her heart ever desired with Kaia. But a cruel twist of fate while Kaia is serving overseas and the evil machinations of her conservative family result in Lisa ending up pregnant and married to a man she can hardly stand. Placed on bed rest early in her pregnancy, Lisa's new husband and her family systematically manage to cut off any chance she has of contacting the woman she loves.

When fate intervenes in Lisa's life, ending with her giving birth to a healthy daughter shortly after becoming a widow, the petite dark-headed beauty is once again determined to find Kaia and make things right between them.

Can Skyler deny what she's feeling? Can she accept what her mind and body are telling her and come to terms with her sexuality? What will her parents think? And what of the small southern community she's been raised in?

Kaia is strong, but each encounter with Skyler eats away at her resolve to stay away from the auburn-haired beauty. She knows that curious straight girls have often spelled trouble in her life. After all, look at how things ended with Lisa. Still, the attraction between Kaia and Skyler is so strong...

Storm clouds of uncertainty gather when Lisa flies south with her child, eager to make Kaia believe that she never stopped loving her, even if it means she has to wrench herself between Kaia and the new woman in her life.

This is a lesbian romance tale with a HEA ending, though everyone involved may wind up with more than a scar or two once it's over.
