I've browsed and searched and not found anything specific. I've examined a few different forums and finally decided to plunk my question here.
The story in my head is new adult romance. I want to include a pregnancy as a main plot point. But I've been doing a lot of searching and not come up with much. I've found YA books with a pregnancy, often as a cautionary tale. I've found women's fiction with pregnancy. I've found NA with a pregnancy that comes up at the end. What I haven't found is an NA romance with a pregnancy as one of the main points. Is this because it's a taboo, because no one is interested in reading it, or because no one has really done it? Am I missing something?
MC would be 18ish. Initially I'm thinking she's just finished high school and this is the summer before college. Love interest is 22ish. The pregnancy is accidental and they get married, because reasons. The obvious challenges of being young, pregnant, and married would be covered, but the story ends with a HEA (or HFN - might be a series).
Am I missing something obvious?
