She mocked his faith. He denied his desire. But when fire met fire, neither could resist the burn.

Echo was never supposed to be here. A stubborn atheist dragged to a Christian concert by her best friend, she wanted nothing more than to roll her eyes and escape. Instead, she collided with Markus-a youth leader with hazel eyes, a sinful smirk, and the kind of faith that both infuriated and intrigued her. Their first meeting sparked arguments sharp enough to wound. But under the heat of their anger grew something darker... and far more dangerous.

Markus had sworn his life to discipline, service, and purity. But Echo was temptation incarnate-lavender dresses, biting words, and whispered sins that haunted his prayers. He told himself he could resist. He told himself he would never break. And then he kissed her.

What began as venom became hunger. What started as defiance turned into obsession. Stolen touches in the sanctuary, sinful whispers in the shadows, devotion tangled with desire-together, they walked the fine line between faith and ruin.

But when Echo begins to find herself drawn not just to Markus but to the God he serves, their bond shifts from lust to something unshakable. Their love is forbidden, their passion undeniable, and their devotion to each other could cost them everything.

In a church bound by rules, they are willing to set it all aflame.

Because nothing is more dangerous-or more holy-than a Lustful Devotion.
