The Lavender Confession: What are you willing to lose be loved?

THE LAVENDER CONFESSIONWhen a defrocked priest kneels in an abandoned chapel, the last person he expects to find there is the archaeologist who's been avoiding the world for a year.Mia fled to her aunt's Provençal lavender farm to escape scandal-her sister married her ex, and the archaeology world whispered. She came for solitude, for soil under her fingernails, for the purple-blue haze that smells like forgetting. Instead, she finds Callum: a man who lost his faith before he lost his collar, haunted by a past he can't pray away.When forced proximity becomes healing, and healing becomes passion, they discover that some broken things can be mended. But a rival archaeologist with a vendetta, a grief group that exposes their deepest wounds, and secrets neither of them has confessed threaten to bury them both-again.In the lavender rows under moonlight, Callum traces her spine like it's a map to redemption. Mia holds him like he's the only solid thing left. But when sabotage turns violent and the truth begins to surface, they must choose: keep their confessions hidden, or risk everything to be found.What are you willing to lose to be loved?
