Let’s make 2026 a year of exploration, friendship, and unforgettable reads. 🌍💫📕 What are we reading this month? 📕
Rhythm & Design by LongTemple
A soulful architect. A gospel-rooted musician. A love built to last.
Rhythm & Design: A Platinum Chocolate Romance is a powerful story of purpose, passion, and divine timing.
Claire Baldwin is used to building beauty from structure—dreaming in blueprints, raised among silver spoons and Ivy League expectations. Focused, brilliant, and untouchable, love was never part of the plan. Until one almost-mistake in her youth taught her the price of giving too much to someone who offered too little.
Oliver Jamison Graham, the son of a revered pastor, walked away from the pulpit and into the chaos of the music industry. Between neon stages and lonely hotel rooms, he searched for something sacred—something real. Music filled his nights, but his faith kept whispering him home.
When Claire and Oliver’s paths collide again, it isn’t just chemistry—it’s destiny. But building a life together means facing the unspoken: the pasts they’ve tucked away, the faith they’re still figuring out, and the families who’ve prayed them into purpose.FOLLOW US /LIKE US/ STALK US📲❤️
