The Homophobic Preacher's Son Who Turned Gay: A Steamy Small-Town MM Romance

Micah Holt has spent nine years being exactly the son his father's ministry needed: reliable, unremarkable, dependable, and quietly, permanently silent about the one truth that could cost his father everything. Youth pastor at Harlan Creek Community Church, Micah has already made his peace with who he is in private. He's never once found the courage to say it out loud, not until Emmett Calloway's wedding pulls him into weeks of close, charged collaboration with Rhys Calloway, the town's tattoo artist and Emmett's estranged cousin, hand-lettering the ceremony signage as his gift to the groom. Rhys knows exactly what it costs to love a man who isn't ready to be seen. His own father disappeared from his life the day he came out, a slow, silent erasure with no reconciliation available. He's not interested in falling for another careful, respectable man who might vanish the moment the cost gets real, and Micah's first instinct, panicked retreat in a barn loft, looks exactly like confirmation of everything Rhys already fears. But Micah is done managing the truth from a careful distance. With a church board elder circling closer to the rumors with every passing week, and his father's thirty years of ministry hanging in the balance, Micah has to decide whether honesty is worth the cost he's spent nine years terrified of paying, before the town's first wedding arrives and the chance to choose honestly on his own terms runs out. A guarded preacher's son, a patient artist who won't be anyone's secret, one wedding six weeks out, and a whole town's capacity for grace put to the test. This steamy, emotional MM romance delivers a full, satisfying happily-ever-after and closes out the Harlan Creek series with the wedding that reunites every couple from the series so far, on the page, together at last.
