Taking Her Place

An erotic novella. Eighteen-year-old Beth is still trying to get over the loss of Cheryl, who died suddenly a year and a half ago. Sharing the loss is Cheryl’s husband Julian, whose perfect life is now in ruins because of his overwhelming grief. Gone is his once-successful career and expensive house, and he’s living in a squalid apartment while working as a stock boy in a grocery store.
Following her parents’ urgings, Beth visits Julian, and the two form a small bond. As time passes the bond between them becomes stronger and stronger, and the two realize they’re caring for each other more than they should. Julian begins to turn his life around, and the sexual chemistry sparks between him and Beth.
Will Beth be able to go the distance and take Cheryl’s place in Julian’s life? Or will society’s pressures keep them from finding happiness in each other’s arms?
