Summary
Chloe Harper hates her stepfather, Pastor Dean, the man their whole tiny bible belt town calls a shepherd of God. In the pulpit, he’s revered. At home, he’s merciless—controlling, cold, and disgusted by her very existence. Their loathing is mutual, venom that poisons every word exchanged.
But hatred festers. When Chloe starts using defiance as a weapon and Pastor Dean confuses her rebellion with temptation, their war transforms into something blasphemous. Every sermon, every punishment, every prayer becomes laced with obsession. In the sanctuary’s shadows, beneath stained glass and crucifix, they don’t fall in love—they fall into ruin.
