About this ebook

Ethan Cole came to town to save his soul—not surrender it.

After a scandal shakes his former church, Ethan finds refuge in a sleepy Southern town where nobody knows his name and temptation seems blessedly out of reach. Until he meets Jake Buchanan—tattooed, sarcastic, and hotter than a sermon in July.

Jake’s the last person a man like Ethan should want. He’s angry, agnostic, and more likely to sin than say grace. But when their worlds collide, the chemistry is explosive, the banter is filthy, and the tension? Downright biblical.

Ethan tries to resist the pull. He really does. But resisting Jake feels a lot like denying his own truth—and maybe even God’s plan. Because the deeper they fall, the clearer it becomes: some things were meant to burn.

And maybe love isn’t a test of faith.

Maybe it’s the reward.

Sacred vows meet sinful heat in this emotionally charged, steamy gay romance about redemption, desire, and learning to worship the one who sets your soul—and your body—on fire. This 25k word novella can be consumed faster than a Sunday sermon, and it’s way more fun.

ENLIGHTENING,EMOTIONAL AND PERFECT!💕 GOD IS LOVE ❤️ LOVE IS LOVE ❤️ I love Iona Lewis’s writing style but his alter ego- Luke Jameson floored me! I was reminded of The Thorn Birds while reading Jake Bishop and his Preacher Man- Ethan Carter’s forbidden romance story… It was so poignantly tongue in the cheek emotional and blasphemous in a cheeky way but oh so sweet and steamy that the pages just kept flipping!

Sinful, spicy, sexy and absolutely delicious. I devoured this story. Well written, capturing the idea of very small town, super-religious places. Add to that a preacher who is questioning, hiding and at the same time recognising that when it comes to faith it is there in plain site - all are loved. Add in the gorgeous hunky town handyman/caretaker who is set on showing the preacher that love is pure and real and this is a novella that won't let you go. Breathtaking, honest, beautiful.

Sometimes just looking at a cover you know it's going to be a good 'un and this was the vibe I got and was not disappointed! A brilliant, well written storyline with such fantastic characters. Full of temptation, passion, love and redemption! Just simply perfect 🥰. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

About the author

Ian O. Lewis writes emotionally rich LGBTQ+ romances that explore love, identity, and the messy, magical business of being human. His stories often feature unforgettable characters navigating complex relationships—sometimes sweet, sometimes steamy, always heartfelt.

When things get especially hot, Luke Jameson takes the wheel. Luke is Ian’s spicier pen name, reserved for high-heat stories where the chemistry is explosive, the language is unfiltered, and the boundaries are meant to be pushed (or flat-out ignored). Think of him as Ian’s naughtier twin—same heart, more heat.
