BLURB "I've never done this before," Nathaniel confessed, his hands tracing her jawline, moving her face towards his as he buried his lips into hers. "I've never crossed the line before.” His voice was filled with guilt and pleasure as he kissed Vanessa. Vanessa's heart pounded as she stared into his lustful eyes, filled with desire for her. "Then why, why with me," She tried to catch her breath. "Because I can't stop myself, you're impossible to resist," he whispered into her ears and his deep dark voice made her body tingle. She wanted more. ******************************************* Vanessa walked into the church that night, seeking comfort, not seduction. But when her priest, a man who took upon himself the burden of others pulled her into his world of forbidden passion, she found herself lost in desires for him. After one night of unbridled desire, Nathaniel offered her a contract marriage, a deal she needed because she was struggling financially, burdened by debt and faced with eviction. Behind his holy demeanour lies a man with more secret darkness than the night they shared. As she navigates her role as his wife, she uncovers layers of betrayal, temptation, and a past that threatens to destroy them both. When another woman, a member of the church board reveals her romantic connection to Nathaniel, Vanessa must decide whether to expose the truth or risk falling into his tangled web.
