Love is a treacherous snare. It lures you in with sweetness, intoxicates you, convinces you that surrender is safety. Like a mosquito drawn to blood, you crave it even as it drains you. Like honey to a bear, it promises comfort while hollowing you out. And when you're weakest, it strikes with venom sharp enough to kill. Love has tried to claim me too, fixing its gaze on me like a lone star against a midnight sky. But I've learned its patterns. I know its games. I will not be ensnared again. Love may feast on the naive, on the hopeful, on those who believe it cannot harm them. I am not one of them. I am an oleander, beautiful and deadly, guarding my heart with quiet precision. Come too close and you will taste the poison of my warning. I will protect myself, even if love calls it cruelty. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ Second Book In 'To Love A Godly Man ' series. This book can not be read as a stead alone. You must read To Know You first. This story does contain some vulgar words because of how the characters are designed and how they impact the story. Cover was designed by me.

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.
