Rum, Lies, and The Pastor’s Wife

In the heart of Kingston, Jamaica—where the scent of jerk chicken lingers in the breeze and reggae music pulses through narrow streets—a storm is quietly brewing, one that will shake the entire community to its core.

“Rum, Lies, and The Pastor’s Wife” is a gripping, provocative tale of desire, deception, and the dangerous pursuit of self-liberation. At the center of it all is Pastor Elijah Grant, a revered spiritual leader who built Kingston Grace Ministries on the pillars of faith, morality, and family values. But behind his holy image is a marriage slowly disintegrating. His wife, Sister Naomi Grant, is tired of playing the role of the dutiful First Lady, living under the weight of appearances and emotional neglect.

Then enters Zayne Lewis—a former streetwise bad boy turned successful rum distillery mogul. Charismatic, intoxicating, and unapologetically bold, Zayne is everything Elijah is not. When Naomi meets him at a glittering charity gala at The Terra Nova All-Suite Hotel, sparks fly. What begins as harmless conversation and emotional confessions soon spirals into a sultry, high-stakes affair that threatens to unravel everything Naomi once believed in.

As whispers turn into rumors and rumors explode into scandal, the truth surfaces in the most dramatic way imaginable—on a Sunday morning pulpit, in front of the very congregation Naomi once led in prayer. With her world crashing down and her reputation in tatters, she must make the ultimate choice: stay shackled to the life she’s always known or walk boldly toward the unknown with the man who made her feel seen.

“Rum, Lies, and The Pastor’s Wife” is not just a story of infidelity—it is a daring exploration of what happens when a woman dares to choose happiness over obligation. It boldly challenges societal expectations around marriage, faith, and the concept of morality, and questions the chains we willingly wear in the name of image.

Valuable Lesson:
This powerful novel explores the danger of living for appearances rather than truth. It dares to ask: What if doing the “wrong” thing is the only way to make your life right? With heart, heat, and unflinching honesty, “Rum, Lies, and The Pastor’s Wife” reminds us that true freedom comes not from following the rules—but from finally breaking them.

WANTED!

In the stillness of a Friday night in Belle Glade, Florida, a man’s life takes a detour—one filled with seduction, secrets, and self-discovery.

Alex Carter, a 28-year-old African-American tech entrepreneur with striking shoulder-length dreadlocks and a smoldering past, is on a late-night drive from Clewiston, where he had a bitter final exchange with his ex-girlfriend, to Belle Glade for a family reunion. But as he speeds past the South Main Street exit near Lake Shore Civic Center, flashing red-and-blue lights pull him into an unexpected journey.

Two local officers—Greg Daniels and Daveon “Dave” Holloway—both in their early 30s, handsome enough to be erotic dancers and built like carved gods, arrest Alex for speeding. Due to the small-town court schedule and a Monday national holiday, Alex won’t see a judge until Tuesday morning.

What starts as a simple infraction turns into a weekend of deep seduction, emotional unraveling, and raw intensity inside the Belle Glade Holding Facility on NW Avenue D. Greg and Dave, roommates from the upscale Olympia neighborhood in Wellington, are known around town for their “tight brotherhood”—but behind closed doors, they’re lovers hiding in plain sight.

Through manipulation, desire, and intense connection, the officers lure Alex into four consecutive nights that awaken feelings he’s never had and desires he can’t ignore. When he’s released with no points, no fines, and only memories that burn hotter than a South Florida summer, Alex tries to return to normal life in Miami.

But when Greg and Dave reach out weeks later, inviting him to their luxurious home on Fatio Boulevard, Alex finds himself right back in their arms—and this time, it’s different. They want more than just a fleeting connection. They want him fully, openly, and together.

As Alex wrestles with what it means to feel wanted, cherished, and chosen by two men who see him like no one ever has, he must decide: is love about who you expected—or who truly knows your soul?

With unforgettable, intense moments and a backdrop of real South Florida neighborhoods and landmarks, “Wanted!” is a bold, boundary-pushing novel that challenges masculinity, love, and what it really means to be seen.

God Made Us and Loves Us

For too long, LGBTQ+ individuals have been told that their existence contradicts their faith. Many have been pushed to believe that the Bible condemns same-sex relationships, leading to pain, isolation, and inner conflict. But what if the truth has been distorted? What if scripture, history, and nature itself prove that same-sex love has always been part of God’s creation?

“God Made Us and Loves Us!” is a powerful exploration of faith, history, and love. This book dismantles centuries of misinterpretation, revealing how biblical passages often used to condemn LGBTQ+ people have been mistranslated or taken out of context. It shines a light on same-sex love within the Bible itself, presenting stories of deep devotion and spiritual connection that have been overlooked for generations.

Beyond scripture, this book dives into history, proving that same-sex love has existed since the dawn of civilization. From ancient Mesopotamia to Indigenous cultures across the globe, societies have honored and accepted LGBTQ+ identities long before modern religious doctrine imposed restrictions. It exposes how anti-LGBTQ+ beliefs were not born from divine will, but from cultural and political forces that shaped Christianity over time.

With scientific evidence supporting the natural existence of same-sex attraction, testimonies from LGBTQ+ Christians who have reconciled their faith and identity, and a vision for a more inclusive future, “God Made Us and Loves Us!” is a beacon of hope. It is a resource for parents seeking to understand their queer children, for believers struggling with their identity, and for anyone looking to embrace the truth that God’s love knows no bounds.

This book is more than just a study—it is a call for love, acceptance, and spiritual liberation. Because the truth is simple: God made you exactly as you are, and He loves you.
