"Closer to God" delves into the separate lives of Mary Jane, the preacher's daughter, and Ryder Wilson, the town's labeled "bad boy." Every Sunday, Mary Jane dutifully serves at her small-town church, while her weeks are filled with volunteer work at the local animal shelter. Despite their shared childhood bond, Ryder's troubled past, marked by abandonment and responsibility thrust upon him at a young age, drove a wedge between them as he spiraled into a life of addiction. But when Ryder unexpectedly confesses his love for Mary Jane, it sets off a chain of events that challenges Mary's perceptions of faith, redemption, and the power of unconditional love. As Mary Jane grapples with her own beliefs and societal expectations, she finds herself drawn closer to Ryder, embarking on a journey where the lines between right and wrong blur, and the true essence of forgiveness is tested. "Closer to God" is a tale of love, redemption, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.

Why don't you believe?" I ask whilst clenching the cross necklace that laid around my neck. "God has the ability to heal the world so if he exists why doesn't he?

Ruin Me Gently
Hailey Carter is the golden girl of Willow Creek, a picturesque small town where everybody knows everybody. She's the kind of person who bakes cookies for the church fundraiser, rescues stray cats, and always offers a warm smile even to the grumpiest old neighbor.

Enter Xavier Black-tall, broad-shouldered, and covered in tattoos that hint at a past he doesn't talk about. He's new in town, renting a rundown cabin on the edge of the woods.

After that, Xavier keeps telling himself to stay away from her. She's too sweet, too pure for someone like him. He's got scars on his knuckles, shadows in his eyes, and secrets that could ruin them both. But somehow, Hailey keeps finding ways into his life. As trouble from Xavier's past comes knocking-along with a local ex-boyfriend of Hailey's who doesn't take no for an answer-Xavier becomes fiercely protective of her. But falling for her feels dangerous... because the darker parts of his life might drag her down with him.Concluída
