Julian Marks doesn’t believe in miracles—he exposes them for a living. As the sharp-tongued host of a viral debunking podcast, Julian has made a name dragging fake faith healers into the light. So when a video of a small-town spiritual guru starts making waves, Julian packs his cynicism and heads to Riverbend, Virginia, ready to blow the whole operation wide open. Enter Jude Brooks—glowing, grounded, and gorgeous enough to make a skeptic sweat. He’s everything Julian calm, kind, and entirely too comfortable with the divine. But the deeper Julian digs, the harder it is to tell if Jude’s a con artist… or the real thing. What begins as an exposé quickly turns into an unraveling—of secrets, of trauma, of the carefully built walls around Julian’s heart. And Jude? He might just be the one man who can heal what’s been broken. But only if Julian lets him. Enemies-to-lovers meets spiritual awakening in this sensual, soul-stirring novella about truth, trust, and the unexpected holiness of falling hard. This 28k word novella can be consumed faster than a Sunday sermon, and it’s way more fun.
