Leave Your Sins At The DoorUpdated at Aug 19, 2025, 03:17
After a brutal breakup with her ex forced Amelia Rose Prescott, now 22, to put her college life on hold for two years after her sophomore year, all she wanted upon her quiet return was to avoid another relationship. Still mortified by the viral video from two years ago of her shameful break-up, she was determined to change. Now, she’s a quiet, guarded woman, vowing to steer clear of all men, keep to herself, and simply finish her degree.
But fate, it seems, has completely other plans. Enter Sterling Thorne McCade, the infamous bad boy who takes an unexpected interest in Amelia. For him, women were like trends; he’d embrace them fiercely for a fleeting moment, only to discard them as easily as one might shed a shirt at the end of the day.
With his shoulder-length, messy, dark brown hair, bright green eyes, perpetual smirk, and relentless energy, Sterling doesn’t just cross Amelia’s path—he seems to hijack her entire life. They share classes, live in the same shared house, and his lingering stares make it clear: He sees her very clearly, and he's not looking away.
Her planned low-key senior year is shaping up to be anything but. The more Amelia tries to push Sterling away, the harder he pulls her back. His practiced smiles, which usually disarmed and enchanted, seemed to barely register with her. She didn’t seek his validation, didn’t flutter under his attention, and most critically, didn’t chase him. She did the opposite thing, stayed away from him at all costs.
But how, when she’s already got his attention?
A forbidden taste leads to a journey into the unknown, where the lines between right and wrong blur, and a messy love story. Was Amelia ready to have a sweet taste of the forbidden and leave her sins at the door?
