In a world shaped by faith and doubt, Seth Zamuel wandered, lost, grieving, and quietly unraveling. The only constant in his fractured existence was Cheyenna, a girl who existed only in his dreams. She was untouchable, unreachable, and achingly real. A presence Seth believed only he and God could see. Then she appeared. Olive White was nothing like the girl Seth loved, except she was. Brought into his waking world by a force far greater than coincidence, Olive carried a past she didn't fully understand, a future she never planned for, and a pregnancy that would change everything. As faith collides with fear, Seth must decide whether love can survive transformation and whether God's plan is salvation or sacrifice. Because some miracles don't come without consequence, and some ghosts refuse to stay buried. ******************************************** Book one in the 'To Love A Godly Man' series.

COMPLETE !! "What would you do if I die?" "Die." "Oh you would die?" I mumble and he nods giving me a small smile. "What would you do if I die?" He repeats my question. "Live." He frowns and I internally evil laugh at myself. That was a good one. ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* Adelia Collins was a talkative girl always in the mood for friends and Zeke Miller just happened to be there at the right time. Her bubbly personality, weird obsession with marvel, and stupid jokes enlightening his mood and fitting perfectly with his uncommunicative behaviour. No one would've expected it, but they understood each in a perfect, unusual way. She was funny and kind to everyone. He was rude and dull to everyone. Well, everyone except her. ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* HIGHEST RANKS- #1 in goodgirl #1 in innocent #1 in cold #1 in heartfelt #1 in sweetheart #1 in attraction #2 in opposites #2 in cliche #4 in humour ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* Adelia Collins wanted someone to match marvel sweatshirts with, but she didn't expect to come across a wealthy family who did dangerous things for living. Zeke Miller wanted a quiet day to observe, not meaning to contain a conversation with a weird girl at a cafe. But why did he come back? Why did he make her a friend? ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* "Darling?" "Yes?" "Do you love me?" "Always. Why?" "Just making sure," ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* ✧・゚: *✧・゚:* Are these two going to get a happy ending? ~~~ 𝘼+𝙕? ~~~ *𝙒𝙖𝙧𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 * This story is rough around the edges in the beginning chapters and will hopefully get better.
