Pastor's Prize

He came back to the church that broke him. He didn't expect to fall for the man behind the pulpit.

Noah Pierce left his suffocating hometown ten years ago, driven out by a church that tried to pray away who he was. Now, twenty-seven and fresh out of luck, he's back in his childhood attic, working day labor, and forced to attend Sunday service as the price of his parents' roof. He's prepared for the judgment. He's prepared for the hypocrisy.

What he isn't prepared for is Daniel Kane.

Tall, rugged, and devastatingly handsome, Daniel is the new pastor at First Presbyterian. He's a man who fixes crumbling church foundations with his own calloused hands and preaches a radical, relentless grace. He's also a man burying a deep, desperate secret beneath his clerical collar. Daniel has spent four years in self-imposed celibacy to protect his congregation, but the moment Noah slumps into the back pew, every wall Daniel has built begins to crack.

When Noah takes a job helping Daniel finish the church renovations, the electric, charged tension between them becomes impossible to ignore. Stolen glances over sawdust turn into explosive, forbidden passion in the shadows of the sanctuary.

But in a small town where everyone is watching, secrets this hot can't stay buried. Daniel must choose between the calling he's sacrificed everything for and the man who makes him feel alive. And Noah must decide if he can finally trust a man of the cloth with his heart.

Pastor's Prize is a high-heat, emotionally gripping contemporary MM romance. It features a forbidden age-gap romance, explosive spice, themes of healing from religious trauma, and a guaranteed Happily Ever After.
