When Olivia Holloway returns to her conservative hometown to care for her ailing father-the town's beloved minister-she expects judgment, whispers, and the same small-town rules that once drove her away. What she doesn't expect is Marcus: her father's quiet, devoted assistant who hides his longing behind scripture and silence. And Dean: the bold, unapologetic outsider restoring the town library-one who makes no secret of his attraction.
Torn between two very different men, Olivia must navigate buried secrets, forbidden desires, and a town that watches her every move. With Marcus, there's restraint and years of unspoken history. With Dean, there's fire and freedom. But in a world that punishes anything outside the norm, can Olivia choose love without losing herself?
As tension mounts and the past collides with the present, Olivia is forced to confront the truths she was raised to avoid-and the desires she can no longer deny.
What happens when love feels like sin-but staying silent feels like betrayal?
Would you risk everything to finally live honestly?
