Publisher Description
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. This 25k word novella can be consumed faster than a Sunday sermon, and it's way more fun.
Customer Reviews
Honest, breathtking, beautiful
Sinful, spicy, sexy and absolutely delicious. I devoured this story. Not only is it very well written but it captures the image that I'm sure many of us have of very small town, super-religious places. Add to that a preacher who is questioning, trying to hide but at the same time recognising that when it comes to faith it is there in plain site - all are loved. Add in the gorgeous hunky town handyman/caretaker who is set on showing the preacher that love is pure and real and this is a novella that it is impossible to put down.
I was compelled, fascinated even by the way that Ian O. Lewis captures the dynamic among the clergy, the difference between the old school and the valiant attempts at being more progressive which Ethan brings. More subtly woven into the story is the sense that it is not only Ethan searching for something, a little lost, but Jake too and I love that element of the story, the provider of much of the comfort is also the one who needs it. Although it may be the innocent words of children which ultimately help Ethan see what he needs to do the two men also work it out in their own way. An honest, breathtaking story.
