Isaac Morris has devoted his life to preaching against the sin of homosexuality. But when his sister proposes a documentary to demonstrate once and for all that it's a choice — with Isaac choosing to be gay as proof — he balks. Until he learns his nephew is headed down that perverted path. Isaac will do anything to convince the teenager he can choose to be straight...including his sister's film.

When Isaac's first foray into the gay lifestyle ends with a homophobic beating, he's saved and cared for by Colton Roberts, a gentle, compassionate bartender with a cross around his neck. Colton challenges every one of Isaac's deeply held beliefs about gay men. He was kicked out by homophobic parents, saved from the streets by a kind pastor, and is now a devout Christian. Colton's sexuality has cost him dearly, but it also brought him to God.

As the two grow closer, everything Isaac knows about homosexuality, his faith, and himself is called into question. And if he's been wrong all along, what does that mean for his ministry, his soul, his struggling nephew — and the man he never meant to love?

      Gallagher is the pen name used by multi-genre novelist Lori A. Witt to distinguish her sweet romance and YA titles. This winsome romance is based on a mildly improbably premise: Conservative homophobic Christian preacher Isaac Morris is drawn by his twin sister into making a documentary film in which Isaac immerses himself in the gay subculture, thereby demonstrating that homosexuality is a choice. Isaac hopes the film will particularly benefit his teen nephew, Griffin, who appears to be gay. When Isaac's visit to a gay bar ends in a beating, he is rescued by bartender Colton, who wears a cross around his neck. Their developing relationship brings revelations for both men. Gallagher's idea of sweet gets syrupy at times: uber-gentle Colton works with LGBTQ youth at a church headed by an enlightened pastor who reflects the changing times, and even the cop who responds to trouble at the bar is sympathetic. This chaste story will appeal to readers looking for true reconciliation between religion and sexuality.
