I returned to the quiet parish of my youth as a broken widow, seeking the comforting words of Father Silas. But salvation wasn’t what I found in the dark, stifling heat of his confessional. From the first night, he was watching me. Wanting me. And I wanted him to break his vows. I pushed him, defied his holy authority, and turned his sanctuary into our own twisted playground of dominance and submission. But our forbidden sins are the least of my worries. When the police reveal my husband was murdered, the evidence points directly at me and the very priest whose bed I share. Caught in a web of police interrogations, buried blackmail, and a deeply disturbed family legacy, I realize too late that the church is a gilded cage. Father Silas promised to save my soul. Instead, he and his "fragile" sister have lured me into the deadliest trap of all. In this town, the most dangerous sinners are the ones wearing the collars. And if I want to survive, I’m going to have to become a monster too.
