He Won't Go

by Stacey Covington-Lee

Ryker was the quintessential success story. Small town boy studied hard, moved to the big city, and became what every businessman dreams of and what most women lust after. However, it wasn’t until he returned to small town Georgia that Ryker met the woman who would capture his heart. Sitting in the old rickety church, he heard the voice of an angel. When he lifted his eyes, he saw his future bride. What he didn’t realize was that the woman with the angelic voice, Lyriq James, had once fallen and was still struggling to regain her footing. Despite the objections of his beloved mother and concerns of the local pastor, Ryker was convinced that Lyriq was divinely created for him.
It wasn’t long before Ryker realized that stealing Lyriq away to the big city may have been more than she was prepared for. Los Angeles had all the trappings that caused Lyriq to fall from grace five short years ago. It offered her the same seductive high that took the life of Ryker’s father, the same enticement that his mother had warned him about. But Lyriq was his now, to have and to hold until death do they part. He took his vows and his faith seriously, but would that be enough to pull her back from the cliff she was about to fall from? Were the friends and faith leaders that he turned to for help going to be the ones to push his wife into the clutches of a demon in order to save their own souls?
