Whispered Southern Secrets

My reputation back home is in shambles, and there’s only one place I want to be: Magnolia Grove.

Little did I know that news of my brief and failed marriage had already made it here. I venture out for one night of peace and find a chance encounter with a handsome stranger who gives me a night of freedom and fun I so desperately need. Our one-night stand has two rules—No exchanging of names and no intention of ever seeing one another again. No matter how incredible our chemistry may be.

But I do see him again—at church the following Sunday.

My stranger is the town's new preacher.

John David "J.D." Brewster is devastatingly good looking and oozes masculinity. I sit awkwardly in the pew and when our eyes lock, I see our connection is still intense. 

We’ll have to keep our secret. My reputation can’t take any more hits—despite how the young preacher awakens things inside me. 

But love has a way of changing things. Makes you bold enough to not care about the whispers, except for the ones he whispers against my skin.
