Catholicism is the only thing Delilah knows, in and out. She is devout to her Lord and Saviour, and she plans on staying it until she eventually kicks the bucket.
Father Roman Hernández has been a priest for as long as he can remember, and although it's not the profession he wanted from the get-go, he has to succumb, and deal with it.
Is their faith strong enough to withhold their connection? And can angelic Delilah Mansoar choose the path of righteousness, or will she walk down the road of pleasure, danger and dependence?

Belief in Miracles (completed)
There were only two things Summer knew about Christians: that they were hypocrites, and that she wanted nothing to do with them or the God they worshiped. When she is urged to attend a support group led by a local church, the last thing she wants to do is get involved, certainly not with its parishioners. Then she meets Sebastian. A member of the church, Sebastian is a Christian in every sense of the word, with a painfully optimistic outlook on life- even though he is dying of cancer. Despite Summer's animosity towards God, she takes a liking to Sebastian and his "bizarre" Christian behavior. Though neither of them believes in love at first sight, something quickly brews between them as Sebastian makes it his life's mission to show her how a true follower of Christ is meant to be, and help her rekindle her forsaken faith. However, as his health deteriorates, they are forced to realize that it takes more than a little faith to stand against death. Sometimes, it takes a belief in miracles.Complete

What she finds is Maddoz "Saint" Barlowe, the club's cold, calculating president. He's older. Dangerous. Untouchable. But when it comes to Delilah, he's soft. Protective.
