On paper, Michael Hudson appears like a wholesome, devout husband and leader. He helps run his father-in-law’s church, has a devoted, modest wife, and is rarely seen without his bible close at hand. In the dark, he is someone completely different, someone with sinful needs and desires that would make the devil blush. Despite that, he longs to lead a congregation of his very own and make an impact in an entire community’s spiritual lives. When he finds Northern Lit, a run-down, dying church, he knows what he must do: repair it and be the leader it desperately needs, all while keeping his secrets safely locked away.

Unfortunately, Northern Lit contains one thing that could bring all his hidden misdeeds out in the open: Andi Connor. She’s an alluring lifelong member who immediately captures his attention. He finds himself unable to stay away, especially when he senses that she wants him as much as he wants her. Will he be able to resist so he can continue his lifelong goal of guiding his own congregation, or will he succumb and possibly lose everything?
