Where the Sinners Pray
(2025)(The second book in the Gospels & Grimoires series)
A novel by Eden Audley
This is not the story of a woman who ran from God. It’s the story of a woman who found God in the body of a grieving man.
June Fontenot has always had a complicated relationship with God—and men who claim to speak for Them. Raised in a Pentecostal cult, she almost gave up on faith entirely…until an angel called her to ministry. Now, she preaches a gospel of love, justice, and hard-won grace. She didn’t come to Willow Grove looking for anything permanent. But from the moment she steps into the old church on Main Street—and into the orbit of Silas Ward—she feels something shift.
Silas is a widower, a man still living in the shadow of the church that broke him. He isn’t looking for redemption. He’s certainly not looking for love. But June makes him want things he thought were buried with his wife: tenderness, touch, and the terrifying possibility of being known.
They’re rebuilding a church. They’re rebuilding each other. And somewhere between the sermons and the silences, they’re falling in love.
But when the past comes roaring back—bringing cults, curses, and an old religion hungry for blood—June and Silas will have to decide what they’re willing to lose for the life they want to build.
Because some churches weren’t built for mercy. Some ghosts won’t stay buried. And even sinners are worth saving—even if they don’t believe it yet.
A Southern romance with spirits, spells, and values in the right damn place, GOSPELS & GRIMOIRES is perfect for fans of THE EX HEX and PRACTICAL MAGIC—but sexier, sharper, and proudly sinful.
Genre: Historical Romance
