Ethan Cole came to town to save his soul-not surrender it.
After a scandal shakes his former church, Ethan finds refuge in a sleepy Southern town where nobody knows his name and temptation seems blessedly out of reach. Until he meets Jake Buchanan-tattooed, sarcastic, and hotter than a sermon in July.
Jake's the last person a man like Ethan should want. He's angry, agnostic, and more likely to sin than say grace. But when their worlds collide, the chemistry is explosive, the banter is filthy, and the tension? Downright biblical.
Ethan tries to resist the pull. He really does. But resisting Jake feels a lot like denying his own truth-and maybe even God's plan. Because the deeper they fall, the clearer it becomes: some things were meant to burn.
And maybe love isn't a test of faith.
Maybe it's the reward.
Sacred vows meet sinful heat in this emotionally charged, steamy gay romance about redemption, desire, and learning to worship the one who sets your soul-and your body-on fire.
