Eighteen-year-old Joshua Abbot was raised to walk the righteous path—devoted to God, disciplined in body and mind, and promised to a girl he can’t bring himself to touch. But when a mission to convert new believers sends him door to door across Redwood Springs, each visit leads him deeper into temptation, submission, and desire. In three raw and erotic stories, Joshua spirals through shame and pleasure as he questions everything he was taught—and discovers that the salvation he craves might not come from above.

Joel Callahan has always tried to be good. But after an unexpected encounter forces him to face the truth he’s been avoiding, a sleepless night leads him to the Velvet Hideaway. What starts as a search for release spirals into something far more intense when two strangers push him past every boundary. Caught between guilt and desire, Joel must decide if giving in means losing himself—or finally being seen for who he really is.
