Hymn

Tension, chemistry, and secrets collide in Griffith, Tennessee, a cult driven safe haven in Small Town America. Ancestry, and trust become the finest defense from the Post-American Civil War Cult that sees all, knows all, and passes judgement on those who oppose them. Two lovers find themselves and each other in a town with history likely to singe the ends off of this suspense filled interracial romance novel. When traveling outsider Mae Bennett unknowingly becomes the cult's next target, Grant Dwyer, an Army Veteran and born successor of the cult founder will do everything he can to keep her from meeting the same fate as those before her. With duty, honour, and intrigue driving him to protect her, he finds that co-existing becomes complicated. Her beauty and mind draw him closer to her, convincing him to cross the lines between dedication and desire. With a hunger for intimacy and a new life, Mae never expects to find herself living the mystery novels she covets. Or to find love so closely entangled with death. Using her abnormal taste for history and research, helping Grant eradicate the cult provides its own challenges, but keeping herself from falling deeply for the dark-haired mystery man that took her in despite her violence infested past, becomes another struggle entirely. Rain and blood share a dark sky over the town, washing away the fine layer of secrecy many had their pasts veiled in. With old bones, rivalries, and race relations borne for all to see, will the pain of the past drown the town's last chance to right past wrongs?
