Publisher’s summary
In the small town of Haynesville, Natalie Drakes finds herself entangled in a web of forbidden love. The man of her dreams, Kenneth, is married, but Natalie’s determination knows no bounds. When she overhears a clandestine meeting at church, she seizes the opportunity to expose the truth. With a discreetly recorded video sent to his wife and the congregation, Natalie shatters the façade of the perfect marriage during a Sunday mass Livestream.

Unapologetic about breaking up two homes, Natalie sees herself as a savior rescuing her prince from the clutches of an evil queen. The annual confessional with Father C.M. Littlejohn becomes her ritual, justifying her actions with the claim of rescuing her “husband” from a bad situation.

As the 20th anniversary approaches, this year’s confession promises to be different. What revelations will unfold in the hallowed walls of Elmridge’s church, and how will Natalie’s story take an unexpected turn? In the middle of the road between sin and salvation, a tale of love, deception, and redemption unfolds in the shadows of Haynesville.
