There are rules a priest cannot break. Paul Lahote has made a life out of obeying them. He's traded the wildness of La Push for the clean, quiet penance of Vermont: old stone, cold mornings, and the slow ache of solitude. Here, he wears his collar like a shackle and tells himself it's salvation-anything to outrun the man he used to be. The boy with too many fists, too much hunger. The wolf. But there are some temptations that cannot be exorcised. When Sister Eden Celeste Cameron arrives to serve the parish-gentle, radiant, carrying her own ghosts-Paul's penance shatters in the flicker of a candle flame. The first time he hears her voice in prayer, he knows he's damned. The first time he touches her, he is reborn. Between confessions and communion, late-night rain and the hush of candlelight, their devotion grows into something wild, forbidden, and holy. The wolf inside Paul howls for her. The man kneels for her. And the priest-he cannot tell where his faith ends and she begins. But Vermont is watching. So is God. The church is cold and unyielding, and secrets fester like rot beneath the stained glass. As their passion threatens to consume them both, Paul and Eden are forced to choose: deny their desire and live in the shadows, or risk damnation for a love that feels like grace. This is his confession: He is not sorry. He would do it again. In a world of saints and sinners, can two lost souls find forgiveness in each other's arms? Or will the truth leave them both in ruins? A story of holy fire and forbidden longing, Lamb Among Wolves is a Southern Gothic romance set in the frostbitten heart of New England-where faith is fragile, desire is dangerous, and the only thing more sinful than breaking the rules is loving each other anyway.
