Overview

Prequel Novella to the Love Doesn't Judge series
They never planned on falling in love. But love, especially the forbidden kind, rarely plays by the rules. Natalie was the golden girl of their conservative Southern church—modest, obedient, and hiding a heart that beat too loudly whenever Sofia was near. Sofia, fiercely intelligent and quietly aching for something more, spent years trying to pray the feelings away. But a weekend escape to a secluded cabin changes everything. When their fingers finally touch, it ignites a love that’s been simmering beneath the surface for years. But secrets don’t stay buried forever—and when faith, family, and small-town scrutiny collide, Natalie and Sofia are forced to make a choice: live a lie to keep the peace, or risk everything for the truth. Told in dual perspectives and brimming with longing, vulnerability, and quiet bravery, Forbidden Desires is a tender, unflinching story of first love and the cost of authenticity.
