Unholy December
He watched her grow up. Now he can't stop watching her.
Ayana Marcus came home for Christmas expecting family dinners and small-town boredom. What she didn't expect was Nelson Ward looking at her like she was something he'd been starving himself of for twenty years.
He's forty-five. She's twenty-four. He's her father's best friend, the town's moral compass, a man who hasn't touched a woman since his fiancée died and took every good thing in him with her.
She's the pastor's daughter. The good girl. The one who was never supposed to want something this dangerous.
One kiss changes everything.
Now she's sleeping in his bed, her father won't speak to her, the whole town is watching — and Nelson Ward, who spent two decades convincing himself he didn't deserve happiness, is learning what it costs to finally take it.
Some men are worth the scandal.
Some Decembers are worth burning everything down.
UNHOLY DECEMBER — because the most sacred thing she ever did was love a man everyone told her was forbidden.
