𝘕𝘰𝘸 𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘴 𝘢 𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘴𝘪𝘯.In the dying town of Mercy Creek, salvation comes with a price—and every woman learns to bleed quietly. But when Leah Wakefield refuses to be passed from one monster to another, she doesn’t just rebel. She makes a choice that changes everything.Now hunted by the same church that once called her sister, Leah’s only chance at survival lies in the hands of Gideon the sin-eater, a man more haunted than holy. And he’s 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 reckoning—for 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. less
