Take Me to Church by Janice Whiteaker

One year ago I walked away from everything I knew and all the lies I’d been told.
For the first time in my life I was free from the constraints put on me by power hungry men who twist faith and devotion into fear and control.
All to feed their own egos.
Now my sister’s ready to leave too, but the only one who can help me save her is a ghost from my past. One who’s haunted my thoughts more than I’d like to admit.
Christian was my older brother’s best friend. He saved me countless times when I was a little girl, protecting me from the wrath of my unpredictable father when everyone else in the house turned a blind eye.
Except Christian’s no longer the lanky teenage boy from my memories.
He’s older. Darker. Deadlier.
He’s changed in ways I’m only beginning to understand. Ways that make me desperate for his touch. Ways that make me worry he still sees me as that little girl instead of the grown woman I’ve become.
But one thing hasn’t changed.
Christian is still willing to do whatever it takes to keep me safe…
and he’s more than ready to prove it.
