Bless Me Father - Paperback

by Anadatura (Author)

She came to St. Francisville looking for a fresh start. She found a preacher.

Mercy Evangeline has spent her whole life learning what faith looks like when it's used as a weapon. So when a job posting at a small Louisiana church comes her way, she takes it - because she still believes in signs.

Judah Beaumont is everything a pastor should be. The town loves him. His sermons make two hundred people forget to breathe. He sits with the grieving, feeds the hungry, and buries the dead with genuine grace.

He is also the most dangerous man in three parishes.

And he decided Mercy was his before she learned his last name.

What follows is not a love story but rather a study in obsession. It gets hands on you slowly, in the heat of a Louisiana summer, between scripture and sin and all the locked doors you tell yourself you don't want to open.

Mercy knows something is wrong. The question isn't whether she'll find out the truth about the man she's falling for.

The question is what she'll do when she realizes she wants him more than she wants clarity.

Some mercy has a price. Some prices you pay willingly.
