The Essence of His Soul

By Mya Kay

Award-Nominated Christian Fiction - AAMBC (2023) - Literary Gem Awards (2024, Best Christian Book)

When Essence Taylor, owner of Taylor Made Music Group, steps into Mocha Tea & Trends-a new upscale coffee shop in Old City Philadelphia-she's focused on business, not romance. But when she overhears the manager scrambling after an artist cancels last minute, Essence seizes the opportunity to showcase her newly signed songstress.

That's when she meets Shane Bishop.

Philadelphia's basketball sensation and the shop's owner, Shane is instantly drawn to Essence. Their eyes meet, sparks fly-and Essence immediately shuts it down. A ball player is the last thing she needs distracting her from her purpose. But Shane can't ignore the connection he feels as he watches her confidently seal the deal for her artist.

Later, one bold DM changes everything.

What begins as a cautious friendship between two preacher's kids slowly unfolds into a God-ordained romance neither of them expected. But just as their bond deepens, their lives are shaken by family secrets, resurfacing past relationships, and a devastating incident that threatens to destroy both of their careers.

As rumors swirl and pressure mounts within the entertainment and sports industries, Essence and Shane must decide if their love is strong enough to withstand the weight of old wounds, public scrutiny, and painful truths.

Will they be able to hold on to what God brought together-or will the cost be too great?
