She's saving herself for the right reason.
He stopped believing there was one.
Joelle Johnson doesn't believe in perfection-but she does believe in waiting. Raised by two progressive pastors, she's saving her body for the day it feels like a choice made in peace-not shame.
Micah Stewart lost his faith the day he lost his parents. Now he's Marigold State's wide receiver, running routes he doesn't care about and drinking tea in a coffee shop where a girl with a worn Bible keeps looking at him like she sees what's left.
She wants to be touched without disappearing.
He wants to believe in something again-maybe her.
When longing turns holy, they'll have to ask:
What if desire is its own kind of devotion?
A slow-burn, emotionally tangled romance about grief, faith, shame, and the way one kiss can feel like a prayer answered out loud.
