The Weight of Grace

The Weight of Grace: Official Bio
[ ENEMIES-TO-LOVERS | SLOW BURN | RELIGIOUS CONTRAST ]

Riley Callahan finds God in the high notes of a choir and the quiet corners of her father's parish. She's a girl of baggy hoodies, oversized trainers, and a faith she wears like armor. But to make it through USC's prestigious journalism program, she has to trade the sanctuary for the lions' den: a crumbling Victorian house filled with the sweat and violence of the underground MMA circuit.

And then there's Jax.

With his slicked-back hair, silver rings, and a cold, "G-Eazy" aesthetic, Jax is everything Riley was taught to pray against. He's the undisputed king of the cage-lethal, toxic, and guarded by walls thicker than the concrete he cracks with his fists. He doesn't want a "church girl" in his space, and he makes it his mission to break her resolve before the first semester is over.

Jax thinks she's a soft little bird. Riley thinks he's a devil in a leather jacket.

In a house where the only commandment is survival, Riley is determined to find the truth behind Jax's scars. But some fires don't just warm you-they burn everything in their path.

"The light doesn't fear the dark, Jax."

"Maybe it should, Princess. Because in this house, I'm the one who decides when the sun goes down."
