Part of Priest
First published 2026
Sean Bell has walked the path from sin to repentance. This winter marks the end of his atonement, and he craves only one thing: his promised bride. The cold days demand the warmth that only a woman's body can provide. Fortune smiles on him because Zenobia Iverson waits nearby. She is the younger sister of his closest friend and the woman Sean stole from God himself. Sean's desire burns against the winter chill as he moves toward claiming what he believes belongs to him. But taking Zenobia means confronting the sacred bonds he severed and the friendship he risks destroying. His need for her warmth wars with the weight of his past transgressions, creating a tension that threatens to consume everything he has worked to rebuild through his repentance.
