A Taste Of Sin
Desiree "Dez" Nichols shared her sexual orientation with her family at 14. That revelation changed the relationships with her twin, Derrick, and her father, Warrick. Fortunately, her mother's younger sister, Pauletta, lived the lifestyle that enabled Dez to explore her sexuality. Aunt Paul left Dez a substantial inheritance that provided her a comfortable living. Dez's lifestyle of drugs, sex, and leisure allowed her to leave Miami without looking back. For more than two years she was estranged from her family and friends. Upon her return she discovers not only that the landscape of the gay scene has changed but also that her mother is battling ovarian cancer. When Dez meets her brother's good friend Victoria "Tori" Jackson, she is immediately attracted. Dez and Tori agree to spend time with each other and not tell anyone. As their relationship deepens, they find that their pasts keep interfering with their feelings. Dez finds herself in unfamiliar territory wanting to remain monogamous with Tori. After several months of courtship, they realize how strong their feelings are for one another and redefine their relationship.Lillian LewisCopyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved
