Losing Innocence

by Brian R. Smith

Losing Innocence is a story about betrayal, manipulation, and the ease with which innocence is lost. Lance and Mia are both single parents, both recovering from past abusive relationships, who meet on a blind date. Although neither shows much inclination toward marriage, both find themselves altering their perceptions about it. They find that the happiness they experience together is jeopardized due to Mia’s ex-husband, Jeff, and the influence he yields with the children. The children are a powerful pawn in the ex-husband’s scheme, which goes horribly wrong, leaving physical and emotional casualties. Losing Innocence explores the extent to which a person may be willing to go in an effort to achieve a goal or protect a way of life. It combines elements of romance and suspense and is designed to capture the imagination, as well as provoke thought.
