Lady on the Front Pew

Sincerity has spent most of her life putting everyone else first. Now in her fifties, the striking, confident beauty has found a new beginning at a small church in Newberry, South Carolina. With curves that command attention and a presence impossible to ignore, Sincerity turns heads wherever she goes-but she's not looking for love. She's looking for peace.

Reverend Joel Summers never expected to return home and find himself standing behind the pulpit as interim pastor of the church that raised him. Educated, respected, and devoted to his calling, Joel is determined to lead the congregation through a difficult season. But everything changes the moment he steps into the sanctuary and locks eyes with the captivating woman seated on the front pew.

From that day forward, Sincerity becomes a distraction he cannot explain and a temptation he cannot escape.

As stolen glances turn into late-night conversations and an undeniable attraction begins to grow, Joel finds himself battling desires that threaten everything he has worked for. Yet his greatest challenge isn't resisting Sincerity-it's protecting a dark secret buried deep within his past.

A secret that could destroy his reputation.

A secret that could cost him the church.

And a secret that could shatter the fragile connection developing between them before it ever has a chance to bloom.

In a town where everyone knows everyone and judgment travels faster than truth, Joel and Sincerity must decide whether faith, forgiveness, and love are strong enough to overcome the sins of yesterday.

Because some secrets refuse to stay buried.

And what he doesn't know just might hurt them both.
