"Beyond Attraction"
---
Liyanna Johnson thought she knew love-until the boy she trusted shattered her spirit with cruel words. Now, she's starting over in Louisiana, leaning on her faith as she tries to heal. But moving forward isn't easy when the past still whispers that she's not enough.

Jamal Carter walked away from the streets, from the money, from the life that almost swallowed him whole. He knows God's calling him to something better, but the weight of his past still lingers. He's trying to stay on the right path, but some days, it feels like he's one wrong step away from falling again.

Then he meets her.

It starts with a few words, a fleeting moment-but suddenly, everything shifts. Liyanna wasn't looking for someone like Jamal. Jamal wasn't expecting someone like Liyanna. Yet, in each other, they find something unexpected: honesty, grace... maybe even a glimpse of God's love.

But faith is a battle. Love even more so.

She's still learning to trust again. He's still learning to believe he's worthy. And with their pasts threatening to pull them under, they'll have to decide-will they fight for healing, for faith, for each other? Or will fear keep them from the future God has for them?

"If you love me, you won't leave me." Jessie has believed those words from her boyfriend, Josh, since senior year of high school. She loves him and doesn't want to leave him. Not even when he shouts at her and hits her. Jessie's best friend, Kolleen, can't stand seeing her in that situation. With a bit of convincing - and the worst beating she'd ever received - Jessie agrees to move into an apartment with Kolleen. But not long after, Jessie is scared the worst of her nightmares will soon become a reality. Josh goes missing, and suddenly Jessie would swear she's being followed. One night changes everything, and one person soon changes Jessie's outlook. A responding officer from that fateful night begins to seek her out, at first claiming it's part of his job. As she spends time with her new friend outside of his job, she starts realizing that her feelings are evolving. After being abused for over a year, Jessie is terrified she's falling in love. What's even more terrifying is that he might be, too. She isn't ready for love. Not yet. She makes up her mind that if he is falling, and if he does love her, he'll wait for her to be ready, and if she loves him, she won't let herself hurt him. Can the words that used to cage her in really be the key to her freedom? --- Featured On: @NA: Take a seat and let it be | Mature Content and 18+ reading list @NA: You deserve the world | Mental Health reading list Ambys Top Picks New Adult 2023
