Angels in Pink by Lurlene McDaniel

Angels in Pink "Raina's Story" revolves around a trio of friends: Raina, Holly and Kathleen. This story centers around blonde and beautiful Raina, a high school junior who, along with her two best friends, volunteers at a local hospital in her off time. Raina is on top of the world as she starts her junior year at school. She has her own car, she loves her volunteer work, she has a great boyfriend, Hunter, and two fantastic best friends. Things start to get tricky when Raina and Hunter find themselves getting a little too hot and heavy. Hunter tells Raina that he's having trouble controlling himself sexually when they're alone together. Raina tells Hunter that she loves him and that she's willing to take their relationship to the next level. Hunter reminds Raina of the promise he made years ago at religion camp in which he swore to stay a virgin till he gets married. Raina tells Hunter that she understands and respects his convictions.

Meanwhile, Raina's ex boyfriend Tony returns to town and enrolls at Raina's school. Raina is filled with fear knowing that Tony has the power to ruin her relationship with Hunter. Years ago when Raina was 13 and dating Tony she gave him her virginity and then endured his cruel jibes and ditching her for an older girl. Raina knows Hunter believes she is a virgin and she hasn't yet told him the truth. When Raina decides to donate blood at the hospital she discovers that she is a perfect match for a leukemia victim in Virginia. Raina's whole life turns upside down when her mother confesses that the leukemia victim in Virginia is the illegitimate child she gave up for adoption when she a teenager.
