Closeted Hearts

Closeted Hearts is a deeply moving male/male romance set within the walls of a conservative megachurch, where faith and identity collide in a story of forbidden love, spiritual trauma, and healing.

Evan Shepherd, the son of a prominent pastor and the church's lead graphic designer, has spent his life hiding who he truly is. When Alex Rivera, a charismatic youth pastor with a painful past, joins the staff at Radiant Life Church, Evan's carefully constructed world begins to unravel. Their connection is immediate, electric-and dangerous.

As Evan and Alex navigate their growing feelings, they must confront the weight of religious expectations, family legacy, and the fear of being discovered. From stolen glances in staff meetings to secret dates under the Texas sky, their love blossoms in the shadows. But when a sermon condemning homosexuality threatens to tear them apart, Evan faces an impossible choice: live in fear or embrace the truth of who he is and who he loves.

With powerful themes of LGBTQ+ identity, religious trauma, and the search for unconditional love, Closeted Hearts is a story of courage, vulnerability, and the transformative power of grace. Featuring a cast of compassionate allies, emotionally charged scenes, and a romance that dares to defy doctrine, this novel is a testament to the belief that love and faith can coexist-and that no one should have to choose between them.
