It was a dark night on a shadowy path when two men came face to face. One man carried a knife, the other, a Bible. Rocco Marz was a rebel with a free spirit and a hair-trigger temper. He cursed freely and obeyed no one's rules but his own. Nathan West was a devout churchgoer with a spotless reputation, but something was missing in his life. Once Nathan got to know Rocco, he was drawn to him sexually and tempted to step into his world of sin. But it came at a high price. Did it mean Nathan was doomed forever? Did it mean he was bound for hell? Or did God in His wisdom have a reason for bringing these two conflicting personalities together?

Sin and Salvation

“What’s your problem with me, anyway, Preacher? Is it because I’m gay?”


“I don’t give a rat’s ass whether you’re gay or straight, just leave Ryan alone and we’ll get along fine. I’ve got enough problems without you getting him all excited.”


“Jealous?” Rocco said with a sly grin on his face.


“Please, don’t make me laugh. Ryan and I are nothing more than roommates. I have no romantic interest in him whatsoever. Believe me, I wouldn’t touch him with a ten-foot pole. I think you know why. He’s a punk.”


“By the way, how old are you, Preacher? Thirty, thirty-five? You think I want to go to bed with a stupid punk, or a grey-haired old geezer who couldn’t cut the mustard if he tried?”


“Couldn’t cut the mustard, huh?” Preacher yelled, and then roughly grabbed him, pulled him close, and planted a kiss on his mouth that had Rocco burning from the inside out.
