When Michael Thomas worked as a small-town cop, he tried to provide the same judgeless counsel as his priest-mentor. After giving up that life to join the clergy, Father Michael knows far more of the suffering around him. His parishioners readily divulge the identity of their attackers, some even confess their own heinous crimes. Because he's vowed to uphold the Seal of the Confessional, Michael now keeps more secrets than a mob lawyer. It's all adding up, eating away at his conscience. He knows everything the cops need to make cases against the worst offenders, but breaking his vow will cost Michael his soul. How's a man accustomed to confronting crime and aggression head-on to deal with his impossible situation?

Untangled
I slammed the table loudly and groaned out of pain. Not only the pain from the headache I was having right now. But also from the memories flooding my mind as well. I was slowly remembering everything. "I hate you!"I shouted seething from anger as I gritted my teeth to stop myself from attacking him. He was really tempting me and I knew it wouldn't be long before I would attempt to pull his face apart and rip out his throat. "Not more than I hate you Alexander Norman. Trust me." He said emphasising on the name that seemed so foreign to me yet that was my real name. He had a mischievous glint in his eyes as he seemed to enjoy the internal battle I was having in my head. " So back to my story-" He drawled in an attempt to irritate me before he continued. " Your mother married me because I had her secret and I threatened to ruin her with it if she did not give in to my wishes." "And what exactly was her secret?" I asked. "She killed your father." He responded and glanced at me probably waiting for my reaction at what he just said. ●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●● Scandals brew in the air once more.

Arcadia: A Spicy Forbidden Romance
Abandoned in the French countryside with two strangers-my new stepfather, Jerome, and his son, Leon-I'm surrounded by beauty, yet utterly alone. But the countryside stirs something reckless in me. Jerome's quiet protectiveness shields me from the world... until his touch lingers too long. Leon's smoldering hatred for me tempts me to rebel... until his feelings for me border on something darker. Both men awaken desires I never knew existed-desires that thrill as much as they shame. Now every shared laugh, every lingering glance, blurs the lines we swore we'd keep. But the closer we grow, the clearer the truth becomes: there are lines not meant to be crossed. No matter how badly we want to.

In the Name of Sin ✓
She came to confess her sins. Instead, she confessed her deepest, darkest desires. *** When Emily steps into the confessional booth, she expects redemption, not the temptation of a priest with a past buried in shadows. Father Daniel's touch is forbidden-his voice, a whisper of desire. Once, he was a man of power and control, and now, trapped in the collar of the Church, he can't deny the pull to dominate her. But Emily is not innocent. Her desires run as deep as his, and she's ready to surrender. She craves more than absolution-she craves his control. As their worlds collide, a dangerous game begins where faith, power, and passion blur the line between sin and salvation. Will Father Daniel give in to the temptation of her submission, or will their dark desires tear them both apart? Tempting. Forbidden. Irresistible. If you think you know where this story is going... think again.Complete

Keeping His Commandments
Desire, lust, love... You're not supposed to feel those things for a woman, and you're definitely not allowed to act on them when you're a Catholic priest. I had taken vows; vows that I've upheld for eight celibate years, and had made a promise to God that I swore I would never break. But then I met Eva, my stepmother's estranged twenty-eight-year-old daughter, and she made me forget who I was. What I was. I prayed for guidance. I prayed for the strength not to give into temptation. My prayers went unanswered...or so I thought.Complete
Nicole
My mother had kept secrets from me for as long as I could remember. Never answering anything I asked about my father, my siblings or why they weren't with us was... It was like she was bound to do it. But despite my curiosity, she never failed to give me anything I wanted. Anything but answers. And after so many years, she finally agreed to give me that too. But I guess one can't have everything they want. It was like they were waiting for this day. Waiting for the day when my hopes got high enough for them to crush. To turn my curiosity into grief. I'm Nicole... and this is my story... #tsc22Complete
