Amazing Cover by ONYXVIXEN I was not meant to be here. I had a life back home, not quite fulfilling but a life nonetheless Then I'm miraculously thrust into the past, into a civilization lost by time, into a world torn apart by war. And a dark roughened male looks at me like i hung the moon and single handedly carved the heavens His gaze is all I've ever desired and his touch ignites a fire that refuses to be extinguished I am torn between returning to all i know and embracing everything I've ever wanted.

Book four of the 1 Peter 4:8 series🦋♥️ - "And what of the name, Glory? You are known by all as Adelia." Adelia's lips curled to a refined smile. "For the Glory of Elohim was revealed to us the night He saved me," - Set in 1842, Glory tells the story of one woman, Princess Adelia Kingsburg of Aedishire, and one man, King Nicholas Greggor of Poloska. Their story is one of devotion, trust in truth, and hearts and minds in submission to God. This is more than a story of two very different people falling in love. No. It's a testament to the pursuit of God leading to life and life more abundantly. For both have such a stance of God, one as Sovereign and Mighty in Valor, Lord, the other as a Gentleman and Wiser than all, King, of the Highest Honor. How could two distinct in their understanding of God and in age find a common ground? Find out in Glory - Love. The love of Christ is the reason why we live today and His foundation of love is why there is still good in this world. "Above all, maintain constant love for one another, since love covers a multitude of sins." ‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭4:8‬ ‭CSB‬‬ - 1 Peter 4:8 Series: Book One: Loving Eleanor Book Two: Honeydew Book Three: Gunnar's Redemption Book Four: Glory - Published: March 24, 2022 Completed: May 16, 2022

"I'm going to take care of you and the kids, Grace." Oh. I just...I get this feeling within me that just warms me throughout. "You already are, Joe." "I know, but I mean in a different way. I've been doing that as an outsider. I'd like to be a part of your family." "Joseph...you've been a part of our family for years. We've never thought of you in any other way." It's the truth. His eyebrows raise and he stares at me for a while. Then he nods. I smile gently and he kisses my cheek again then gives me a smoldering look. "Thank you." He brings one of my hands to his lips, pressing a kiss to it, his eyes still fixed on mine. My breath catches with the intensity there. "I love you, Grace." The sincerity in his words are as clear as day. All at once, I feel so incredibly grateful to have him in my life and I find tears springing up. His gaze softens as he sees them. Ordinarily I would try to hide this obvious sign of vulnerability, but I don't. There's no reason to with him. "I love you too." He smiles gently and then turns his head towards my hand still on his face, pressing a tender kiss to my palm. ~~~ This is an age gap interracial (bwwm) Christian romance that involves Joe, a widower, and Grace, a widow of six years and family friend. Joe has just lost his wife and Grace is there for him as he works through a grief that she is unfortunately familiar with. As the years go by and he continues to heal, their friendship develops into something more.

She valued lives. He took them. She saved him. He wanted her. She was a doctor and he was a mobster.
