Synopsis

Raised in a strict household, 16-year-old Courtland Murphy never had a date. But that was before the guy of her every dream--basketball star Allen Benson--asked her out. She's gone from never-been-kissed to dating the hottest guy in school. And now her new boyfriend is pressuring her to prove she loves him--by having sex. But as a member of her community's Worth-the-Wait club, Courtland made a vow to stay a virgin. Now everyone--from friends and family to fellow club members--gives her different advice. Who knew being in love could be so confusing.
