Orphaned since she was a baby, Venus was raised in the church and has completely devoted herself to God and a future serving Him. So why can't she ignore Mal, the strange new boy in town? As temptation begins to invade Venus' world she discovers a dark secret, and it will force her to see where her devotion truly lies. Which will she choose, her faith or her passion? ********************** ***He tilted the glass and I felt the wine touch my lips. I did what he said and drank slowly, letting the wine flow in a steady stream. I wanted more though. I leaned into it causing the glass to tip further. Wine filled my mouth quickly. I felt some drops spill from the edge of my lips and down my cheeks. Mal pulled the glass away quickly. "Hey! What was that?" I smiled mischievously. "See, I can be bad too." He looked at me for a moment before setting down the glass. He grabbed me and pushed me onto my back, pinning me with the weight of his body. "Can you?" He said. His eyes looked hungry. I couldn't understand the warmth that suddenly filled me. Was it the fire? The wine? Or something else? ***
