    About this series

    Is she the only one "dirty" in church? A provocative look at the modern church and how our safe environment has cornered us.Leah, the youngest homeschooled daughter of a music pastor is already twenty years old and no one has approached her father to ask for her hand yet. She has secret ambitions that don’t include courting a man chosen for her—anything that involves an adventure.When accusation divides the church during Sunday morning service, her illusion of safety shifts like the shadows in the sanctuary.In the aftermath, a handsome intern pastor is poised to help the church transition back to health. To prevent being duped again, Leah begins to spy on others. What starts out as curiosity, borders on voyeurism. But it might be worth it when it reveals rogue Christians, leaders with secrets and a plan that involves her. Hilarey’s second engrossing suspense in the Breaking Bonds series proves that sometimes the most dangerous adventure can happen in your own church.

      Are the footsteps getting louder? A ward of the state at nine years old, Sparrow finds herself living with her half brother and the sister-in-law who didn’t want her—or the curse she came with. She drops out of high school just before graduation, desperate for a way to support herself before she turns eighteen. Sparrow accepts a job bussing tables at a bar and ends up on stage before the night ends. The money is irresistible when it brings the possibility of controlling her future. But before long, she witnesses a dancer strangled and loses every dime she’s earned. She tries to find a simpler job, but no opportunity can outrun the curse. Now, she can hear the footsteps behind her, too. In attempt to grasp fleeting hope, she decides to confront the one who cursed her in the first place—her grandfather. A gripping tale of a young girl romanced by two worlds.
