What
happens when the one you want is the only one you can't have?
My name
is Sevin.
Homeschooled
and sheltered by my ultra-religious family, I was always taught that lust was a
sin.
Elle was
the girl who'd been carefully chosen for me.
After a
long-distance courtship, I'd be moving into her family's guesthouse so that we
could get to know each other in the months before the wedding.
Boundaries
were set: no inappropriate touching, no kissing, no sex before marriage.
I'd
accepted those rules and my fate.
Until I
met the one I wanted to sin with.
That was
when restraint became a problem...especially since THE ONE wasn't Elle.
It was
her sister, Evangeline.
You know
what they say about best laid plans.
My name
is Sevin, and I have sinned.
Told in
alternating points of view, Sins of Sevin is a full-length standalone novel.
Contains graphic sexual content and harsh language. Only appropriate for adult
readers age 18+.

He quietly followed me into the dining room, carrying the flatware. The tension in the air was thick as he walked behind me around the oval table, setting down silverware after each plate I’d put down. It was like some weird game of musical chairs where awkward silence replaced the music. The hairs on my back stiffened. We weren’t saying anything, but it was as if I could feel the weight of a thousand words along with the heat of his body so close behind me.
When I noticed he’d just put a fork where the spoon was supposed to go, I switched it. “The forks go on this side, actually.” My hand was shaking. I couldn’t believe how little control I had over myself.
Noticing my nerves, he suddenly placed his hand over mine and whispered, “Stop.”
Chills ran through me. My heart started to beat faster. My nipples hardened. I hated my body for responding to him with equal amounts of fear and lust.
I turned to him, his hand still over my knuckles. It felt like I couldn’t breathe as he just looked at me.
My mother’s footsteps caused Sevin to move his hand off mine with lightning speed.
Mama entered, and we continued setting the table as if our stolen moment hadn’t happened.
