Having witnessed corruption in the church all of his life, he is set on reforming the small congregation. But facing a secret addiction to pornography, Derek realizes he also needs a new start. His quest for redemption is tested when his path crosses with Mary, a porn star who is tired of living in secret chasing a life of stardom that she knows will never happen. Can Derek find a way to save them both?
 
 After suffering sexual abuse from her childhood pastor and alienation from her religious mother, Mary refuses to turn to any church for help. What can Mary do when the drugs, alcohol and promiscuity no longer numbs the pain?

Welcome to the Sanctuary, a place of spiritual rebirth nestled in the barren desert. At least, that's what the recruitment videos promise. The truth is a lie wrapped in hope. The compound is a prison, sealed by fencing curved inward-not to keep intruders out, but to keep souls in. It is ruled by a man known only as The Messiah. Charismatic, beautiful, and utterly psychotic, he commands absolute obedience through a twisted faith of fear, "Juju," and bizarre sexual rituals. He is a god with a temper and a severe cocaine addiction , and his followers are the broken masses who worship the ground he walks on. In this hell, Mercy is the exception. Wearing the red robe that marks him as "favored," Mercy is the Messiah's most prized possession-his gatekeeper, his advisor, and his sexual plaything. But where others are broken, Mercy is a weapon. He has never truly surrendered his will and is playing a dangerous game for survival. He is surrounded by a hierarchy of rivals: Prince Terrence: The ruthless second-in-command in black, a "personal bitch" to the Messiah who is consumed by jealousy. Elder Mother Supreme: The 83-year-old head cook in green, a sadistic and powerful advisor who handles the compound's "dirty work" and buries its secrets. Headmaster Oakley: The obsessive educator in yellow, responsible for indoctrinating new minds into the cult's twisted ways. All of them want Mercy . But their desire is a vulnerability he can exploit. When a brutal power struggle with Elder Mother Supreme escalates from a slap to a poisoned pie, Mercy must use his enemies' obsessions against them to survive. In a world where escape means public execution and unauthorized sex is punished with acid, the only way to win is to be more calculating and more brutal than the monsters who rule. In the Sanctuary, mercy is just a name.

Dani has loved Josh since high school. It started out as a crush, but a senior trip changed their lives forever. Suddenly, they were making a movie and swept into the glamorous but dark life of the rich and famous. They fell into a world where sin and self-rule and nothing is as it seems. When Dani becomes pregnant, Josh's heartfelt proposal shocks her. Desperate, Dani wants to accept but she's afraid he only asked because he's a new believer and trying to please Jesus. She turned him down, had her child, and signed away her parental rights. After four years of regret, Dani goes home to fix her mistakes but it's too late. Josh is engaged to another woman and she no longer fits into their lives. As she tries to mend her relationship with her son, Dani also grows closer to the Lord. Is it God's will for Dani to watch Josh marry another woman and have her raise Dani's son? Dani and Josh are both praying and determined to please the Lord, but neither of them is sure of His plan. They will need faith and the Lord's unfailing love to see them through. This is a STANDALONE STORY, but there are characters from With All Your Heart & Leaving the 99. Bible quotes are from the NIV version. Upates MWF
