Summary
In the small, watchful town of Marrow Creek, everyone knows Brando Abel, the pastor’s perfect son. Polite. Devout. Untouchable.
Until Wilson Mercer steps into his life with a flyer and a soft smile.Wilson is new, quiet but not shy, observant in a way that makes Brando feel seen in places he’s spent his whole life trying to bury. He says he joined the church to “try new things,” but he always sits in the third pew on the left — the one with the clearest view of Brando.
Brando tells himself it’s temptation. A test. A phase. He fasts longer. Prays harder. Avoids eye contact. But Wilson keeps showing up, to Sunday service, to youth volunteer events, to the late-night hymn practices Brando pretends are mandatory.
And the worst part? Wilson never pushes.
He just stays.
As rumors begin to coil through the congregation and Brando’s father starts watching him a little too closely, Brando finds himself caught between the life he’s been raised to lead and the quiet, electric truth he feels every time Wilson smiles at him like he already knows.
Wilson didn’t join the church for salvation.
He joined for Brando.
And Brando is running out of places to hide.
