She has a plan for her career, her future, and the man she intends to marry. A demon has plans of its own. Layla is brilliant, ambitious, and accustomed to getting what she wants. David prefers an orderly life: write the code, finish the contract, and stay out of office politics. Then Layla walks into his cubicle and challenges his patience, his convictions, and the careful boundaries protecting his heart. Away from work, David’s life is anything but conventional. Along with a close-knit group of friends, he investigates paranormal activity and confronts spiritual threats. When they are asked to examine an abandoned mountain house with a violent history, the case initially appears straightforward. Then Layla joins the investigation. Curiosity quickly turns to terror as something hidden inside the house lashes out at her. Soon, disturbing events follow her home, invading her work, exploiting her ambitions, and drawing her deeper into a world she refuses to believe exists. David knows the presence is more intelligent and dangerous than they first realized. To protect the woman he is falling for, he must confront an enemy he cannot defeat through strength or knowledge alone. But Layla must make her own choice about what is real, whom she can trust, and whether surrendering control might be the only way to survive. Blending supernatural suspense, workplace conflict, unlikely romance, understated humor, and Christian themes, Unwanted Distraction is a story about pride, temptation, spiritual warfare, and the transforming power of faith.
