Falling Fruit

Falling Fruit: Seven Christian Taboo Romances

by John Mark

What happens when love ripens where it shouldn't?

In Eden, the first temptation was not about hunger but about trust. Since then, every believer has known the orchard - the place where desire grows sweet and dangerous at the same time.

In this powerful collection of seven flash fiction romances, ordinary Christians wrestle with extraordinary temptations:

• The Orchard - a pastor's daughter faces forbidden longing at a youth retreat.

• Bruised Apple - a youth leader notices too much and learns the cost of silence.

• Overripe - a married woman's past love resurfaces, testing her vows.

• The Thorn Tree - a Baptist girl and a Catholic boy find love their families forbid.

• Hidden Seed - two missionaries discover even good soil can hide temptation.

• First Bite - college students studying temptation come dangerously close to tasting it.

• The Harvest - a weary believer learns grace can redeem even fallen fruit.

These are not tales of scandal, but of struggle, surrender, and grace. Each story is clean yet raw, tender yet unflinching, shining light on the tension between human desire and holy devotion.

If you enjoy Christian romance anthologies, inspirational short stories, or redemptive fiction that faces temptation honestly, Falling Fruit will meet you in the orchard - where longing collides with grace, and even bruised fruit is gathered into His harvest.
