The Summer of Consent
When does a girl become a woman?
Is it when she graduates high school?
When she turns eighteen?
Or when she loses her virginity…?
Gloria Goodman desperately needs extra money for college. Nate Larsen desperately needs office help. Gloria wasn’t Nate’s best—or favorite—student, but she is his only applicant.
When Gloria impresses him with her office skills, Nate sees her in a new light that is neither academic…or professional.
The summer heats up and so do they. But will their desire for each other destroy them?
Jayne Marlowe writes stories featuring grown up women of color doing grown up things and having to make grown up decisions that aren’t always easy or good.
She began writing at a young age because she wanted to read stories where a curvy, Black girl like her was the lead and not simply the ethnic comic sidekick—or side chick.
Born and raised a Southern girl, Jayne remembers life before the Internet.
