After a steamy night together the lives of basic strangers Lux and Greyson are irrevocably intertwined. They'd forget each other if they could, but their small town Nebraska high school makes that difficult. as does Lux's growing abdomen.
Although the time they spend together brings them closer, their separate lives keep them apart.
Greyson must choose between the life he wants with Lux and the life others would thrust upon him. And pregnant Lux must decide if she is brave enough to trust Greyson with her heart and the future she never expected.
This is a story I wasn't sure I was able to write. I'm not a mother and I've never been pregnant. I wasn't sure how I could write a story authentically and believable when I didn't know much about it. I had this idea for a teen pregnancy book but had to shelve it until I became pregnant or knew more about it. In the time I shelved it, my sister became pregnant and had a child. I learned a lot from that experience. I asked a lot of questions and paid a lot of attention. But I still wasn't sure I had the right story. I wanted to do justice to a teen pregnancy book. Then, one night while flipping through the channels I settled on the TV show Parenthood. I love this show and believe it does so well handling tough situations and emotions. In that particular episode, there was a couple who was going to adopt a baby from a pregnant teen. In one scene the adoptive father told someone "She's carrying my baby." It was like divine intervention. Everything clicked in that moment. I had the characters. I had the story. I had everything. I was in love with this story and ready to write it. So I wrote it.
And now I would like to share the cover with you. I would also like to thank Caedus Design Co. for such and amazingly beautiful cover.
