What happens when the one you want is the only one you can’t have?
My name is Sevin.
Homeschooled and sheltered by my ultra-religious family, I was always taught that lust was a sin.
Elle was the girl who’d been carefully chosen for me.
After a long-distance courtship, I’d be moving into her family’s guesthouse so that we could get to know each other in the months before the wedding.
Boundaries were set: no inappropriate touching, no kissing, no sex before marriage.
I’d accepted those rules and my fate.
Until I met the one I wanted to sin with.
That was when restraint became a problem…especially since THE ONE wasn’t Elle.
It was her sister, Evangeline.
You know what they say about best laid plans.
My name is Sevin, and I have sinned.
Told in alternating points of view, Sins of Sevin is a full-length standalone novel. Contains graphic sexual content and harsh language. Only appropriate for adult readers age 18+.

Excerpt
SINS OF SEVIN EXCERPT
Copyright © 2015 by Penelope Ward
He quietly followed me into the dining room, carrying the flatware. The tension in the air was thick as he walked behind me around the oval table, setting down silverware after each plate I’d put down. It was like some weird game of musical chairs where awkward silence replaced the music. The hairs on my back stiffened. We weren’t saying anything, but it was as if I could feel the weight of a thousand words along with the heat of his body so close behind me.
When I noticed he’d just put a fork where the spoon was supposed to go, I switched it. “The forks go on this side, actually.” My hand was shaking. I couldn’t believe how little control I had over myself.
Noticing my nerves, he suddenly placed his hand over mine and whispered, “Stop.”
Chills ran through me. My heart started to beat faster. My nipples hardened. I hated my body for responding to him with equal amounts of fear and lust.
I turned to him, his hand still over my knuckles. It felt like I couldn’t breathe as he just looked at me.
My mother’s footsteps caused Sevin to move his hand off mine with lightning speed.
Mama entered, and we continued setting the table as if our stolen moment hadn’t happened.
REVIEW
Holy Friggen Cheese Doodles!!!
“You’ll always be my truth. But sometimes, the truth hurts too much.”
Sevin grew up in a strict Christian household. He was home schooled and went to church every week. In an attempt to escape his step mother, he agrees to court then marry Elle. The problem? He wants to ‘sin’ with someone else…. Elle’s sister. You think you know where this story is going? Trust me. You have no idea…
“I don’t know what I’d do without you.”
“You won’t ever have to find out.”
I finished reading Sins of Sevin and just couldn’t wrap my mind around how Penelope Ward does it. She tells a story that makes it impossible to put down… and strangely will make you crave Strawberry Pop Tarts.
This is forbidden romance at its best because, there is no right answer in who Sevin will eventually end up with. Elle freely gives her love to Sevin and loves him despite his past. Evangeline is more of a free spirit but awakens something in Sevin that no one else can.
What do you do when you find that one person who completes your soul? You want to give them that sacred part of yourself, but doing that would mean hurting that person in return (as well as everyone around you). That is ‘Sins of Sevin’. Mistakes get made. Heartache is their penance.
“Loving someone means loving them despite their faults or mistakes.”
Think you know how it all ends? Think again. Sinning has never felt so right.
5 out of 5 stars
