Books like Chocolate Covered Forbidden Fruit by Trista Russell
Thalia, a spirited 25‑year‑old, returns to her old neighborhood after a broken engagement and quickly draws the eye of Reverend Isaac, a devoted and attractive pastor. Their forbidden attraction is complicated by Isaac’s status as a clergyman, the significant age gap, and the fact that he is the father of Madison, Thalia’s childhood best friend. Honest and sudden, Thalia urges Isaac to keep their relationship secret, yet Isaac is eager for the world to see their love. When tragedy forces the affair into the open, the couple must confront the judgment of family, church, and community. Adding to the tension, a former lover’s return throws their relationship into a crisis, and the town’s gossiping church mothers add to the strain. Will their romance survive when fate seems against them?
