Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

When seventeen-year-old Lizzie meets Jason, a Don Johnson look-a-like, between Mormon church classes on a sultry Sunday morning in August 1985, she has no idea her life is about to change forever.After Lizzie succumbs to the temptations of the flesh and discovers she is pregnant with Jason's baby after a less-than-immaculate conception, her best friend Michael offers to make her an honorable woman and marry her. With thoughts of her former lover ever-present in her mind, Lizzie must execute an unforgettable wedding in order to fulfill her mother's wishes and hopefully conceal her almost obsessive infatuation with Jason. As Lizzie wrestles with her religious convictions, the sharp contrasts between her wealthy parents and Michael's larger, financially strapped family, as well as the judgments of others, she also must confront her allegiance to her best friend and prince-in-disguise who is determined to rescue her, even if she is not sure she wants to be rescued.Love and lust are united as Lizzie attempts to reconcile the religious and romantic concepts of love with the very real man who shares her bed at night.
