Faith grew up with rules. Strict household. Church every Sunday. A mama who don't play, and a heart too soft for her own good. But when her quiet world collides with temptation, secrets, and a boy who makes her feel everything she tried to pray away... she starts moving different. Her feelings get deeper, her decisions get riskier-and the line between right and wrong starts to blur. The deeper she steps into the world she once watched from behind a window, the more she realizes why her mama kept her hidden. The truth? It's darker than she ever imagined. Now she's changing-slowly becoming someone she swore she'd never be. And the girl she used to be? She might not make it out alive.

Ardent Currents - Book 1 One lost his dream. One found his heart. In a far future, two men find their fates in each other. Jamar Devereaux I told myself that all I ever wanted was my mother's company. It's why I'm back home to study business. Deep down, I know I only tell myself this lie because I can't have my true dream. He ruined all that for me... and then the accident stole my memories. Now, Mother's managed to put us in the sights of the Union's most notorious loan sharks. And what they want just might be the end of my life as I know it. Alaric Mako I've hunted him for so long, and at last, I'll finally make him mine. Summary: In a far off, technology-driven future of corporate dynasties, news-fluencers, and ruthless debt law, two men are forced into each other's orbit-and into an arranged engagement that only one of them wants... and the other didn't expect to crave. Jamar Devereaux returned home to inherit his mother's empire. But when she defaults on a dangerous loan to the most feared loan sharks in the Union, he's forced to save her-and himself-by agreeing to marry into the Mako family, notorious for collecting their debts with blood, time, and vengeance. His fiancé? Alaric Mako: the devastatingly handsome, cold and calculating heir who's spent years watching Jamar from afar. Jamar can't remember their brief past before his accident-but Alaric hasn't forgotten. As passion flares and old secrets resurface, enemies become lovers and hunters become the hunted in a deadly game of power, trust, and desire. In this world where loyalty is hired and love is a liability, can two men rewrite destiny?
