Book of Gideon: A Dark Southern Gothic Obsessive Love Romance (Hellbound Mountain Men #2)
Elena Haze

In the dying town of Mercy Creek, salvation comes with a priceโand every woman learns to bleed quietly. But when Leah Wakefield refuses to be passed from one monster to another, she doesnโt just rebel. She makes a choice that changes everything.
Now hunted by the same church that once called her sister, Leahโs only chance at survival lies in the hands of Gideon the sin-eater, a man more haunted than holy. And heโs been waiting for her longer than she knows.
Bound by something far older than scripture, Leah and Gideon must confront the twisted theology of a town that would rather see her broken than free. What begins as a ritual of protection becomes a reckoningโfor the church, for their pasts, and for the sins no one dared to speak aloud.
Darkly erotic, psychologically tense, and steeped in Southern Gothic ritual, The Book of Gideon is a sacrilegious love story for readers who crave broken men, defiant women, and fire-lit altars built from vengeance.
