When faith meets chemistry, true wahala enters the sanctuary.
Tiwa Adebayo has her life completely sorted—on paper. As an international operations manager in Victoria Island, she manages multi-million-dollar supply chains without breaking a sweat. But in the sanctified, hyper-critical halls of The Carpenter’s Tabernacle in Lekki, none of her degrees matter next to the ticking clock of her thirtieth birthday. Between her mother’s dawn ambushes with weaponized anointing oil and church marital committees keeping score, Tiwa harbors a dangerous secret: for fourteen months, she has been silently losing her mind over Brother Daniel Balogun.
Daniel—licensed structural engineer, archdeacon’s son, and the church’s unpaid fixer—is drowning under ecclesiastical expectations. When he isn't managing chaotic construction sites, he’s running the sound booth, playing drums, and nursing failing diesel generators for pastors who treat his labor as an entitlement. Bound by Anglican decorum, Daniel maintains a strict, forty-second weekly routine of polite foyer pleasantries with Tiwa, masking an attraction that has smoldered for over a year.
Then the senior pastorate makes a move: they pair them up to co-lead the massive Kingdom Impact Convention.
Trapped inside cramped logistics trailers and dim sound booths, their polite church masks disintegrate. As power grids trip, VIP delegates cause chaos, and an unscripted crisis threatens to derail the entire assembly, Tiwa’s razor-sharp logistics and Daniel’s engineering grit become the convention's only lifeline. But in the heat of shared crisis, fourteen months of suppressed tension ignite—leading to a private moment that accidentally broadcasts across the administrative intercom.
When the church’s bureaucratic machinery retaliates with an emergency disciplinary tribunal to protect its own dirty secrets, Daniel and Tiwa are forced to choose: swallow the script of sanctified shame to keep the peace, or step into the daylight and fight for a love built on truth.
What Readers Are Saying:
"Finally, a Nigerian Christian romance that doesn’t treat attraction like a taboo or church hurt like an inconvenience. Hilarious, sharp, and deeply convicting!"
