"Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you." Ephesians 4:32

In the rigid confines of Victorian society, Jane Kingsley feels like a puppet on a string, her every move dictated by the unforgiving expectations of her family and peers. Pressured to conform and burdened by the weight of duty, she struggles to find her own path in a world that seems determined to control her destiny.

Enter Jack Casbourn, a charming and compassionate gentleman who is captivated by Jane the moment he sets eyes on her. With his playful wit and unwavering kindness, Jack becomes a beacon of hope in Jane's otherwise stifling life. His presence ignites a spark within her, a longing for freedom and true love that she never dared to dream of.

As their connection deepens, Jane finds herself at a crossroads, torn between the oppressive demands of her family and the promise of a life filled with love and grace. When she faces the unimaginable prospect of being forced into a loveless marriage, Jack steps in, determined to save her from a fate she cannot bear.

Together, Jane and Jack embark on a transformative journey guided by faith and resilience. Through trials and triumphs, they learn the true meaning of love, patience, forgiveness, and grace, discovering that sometimes, the greatest blessings come from letting go and trusting in a higher plan.

"Gracious" is a heartfelt tale of romance and redemption, where two souls find each other against all odds and navigate the delicate balance between societal expectations and the call of their own hearts. In the end, they discover that true grace lies not in conforming to the world, but in embracing the divine love that guides their every step.

NOTE: This is the ORIGINAL version. The revised version, which includes multiple added scenes and extended storylines, will be published on amazon as two separate books (A Thin Line Between Love & Hate / A Short Distance Between Heaven & Hell). The revised versions may or may not be uploaded onto wattpad, I haven't yet decided if I will be doing that. **The extremist group in this story is based on the Westboro Baptist Church located in Topeka, Kansas. ________________________________ Josh Waylon is a prisoner in his own home, his own mind. Part of an extreme religious group who has targeted homosexuals, Josh is forced to live the hate that the leader--his father--has poisoned them with. But Josh has a secret of his own, one which would bring him extreme pain and punishment within the group and alienate him from everyone he knows. When the group moves to a new town, a community which is predominantly LGBTQ, and Josh starts at the new school, he feels like a sheep amidst wolves as the many gay kids within the school know exactly who he is and what his family does. Josh feels no security with his two older brothers, who expect him to suck it up and accept the persecution as a servant of God. Brandon Nichols immediately detects the difference between Josh and his brothers, seeing deeper within the young man and the truth he is hiding, desperate not to be found out. Brandon believes his calling is to help bridge the gap between the gays and Christians in his school, but he has his work cut out for him with Josh Waylon and the extremist group that has him locked down--emotionally, spiritually...and sexually.

The Perks Of Falling For Your Bestfriend✔ by Anamtaa

"In vain have I struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you." -Pride and Prejudice. -Jane Austen. Allison Waters is a girl as simple as they come, atleast that's what she believed. And to be honest she did enjoy a simple life for the past two years. All she wanted to pass her senior year in peace and be happy in life. What she wasn't expecting was to be back in town with a certain Greek God of a Devil acting more annoying than ever... Calling him tall dark and handsome would be the understatement of the century. He is the arrogant quarterback and one of the most popular guys in shcool. He is as I mention previously the reincarnation of the devil in his actions and a Greek God in the looks department, with startling blue eyes, a sinful body and gorgeous hair, who may at different times define the words Cocky and Adorable. Quite a contrast isn't it? Well that's who he is, or for that matter how we all are... a bit of both. Ashton Fobes is Alli's bestfriend, well Ex-Bestfriend, he is also her arch nemisis, her sworn enemy, but he is also the only one who can make her push her limits and challenge her in ways she never thought possible. Soon they were playing with Cupid's arrows trying to set up the unlikeliest couple imaginable, but what they seemed to have forgotten was Fate's wierd sense of humor and so it turned out while they were playing with Cupid's Arrows, he was aiming them at these two instead. Ps: I have now unpublished most of the chapters. Highest Ranking: 30, 35, 50 in teen fiction. 32, 66 in ChickLit. 46, 47, 78 in humor.
