This is the HEA (Happily Ever After) version of the original book.
For MATURE audiences (those at the legal 'age of consent' and older): There are scenes of children playing doctor, masturbation, and inserting a tampon. There are other sexually explicit scenes as adults, so if any of these will be objectionable to you, DO NOT buy this book.
Michael and Elizabeth were two children who were brought together by fate. Elizabeth was adopted into the Weston family at the age of three, and Michael, at six years old, immediately bonded with his new little sister. The two grew up together like most siblings except for one thing—somewhere along the way they fell in love with each other, yet neither could allow the other to know their inner-most feelings, their most intimate desires. They each held their forbidden secrets to themselves, especially in a time when their bodies were developing, and their sexual and romantic cravings were escalating—steered by their raging hormones.
This is a poignant love story of childhood innocence, coming of age, and forbidden desires.
'Flowers in the Attic' type coming of age, without the Gothic horror aspect.
