Sins of the Sanctuary

Sister Evangeline is months away from taking her final vows, seeking peace within the quiet stone walls of St. Jude's Church. She is hiding from a past stained with blood and vengeance, dedicating her life to silence and prayer. But her sanctuary is shattered the night Leo Vallo collapses into her courtyard, bleeding out from a brutal street war.

Leo is the reckless, rule-breaking heir to the ruthless Vallo Mafia syndicate, a man who thrives in the dark and answers to no one, not even his formidable father. Bound by her vows of mercy, Evangeline saves his life, sparking a dangerous, forbidden obsession.

To punish his recklessness, Leo's father forces him into a mandatory Bible Rehabilitation class held at St. Jude's. When Leo discovers Evangeline is the class assistant, he uses his dark influence to trap her in his orbit. What begins as a toxic game of temptation quickly spirals into a suffocating, forced proximity. But St. Jude's is no holy house; it is a front for the Vallo Mafia's black-market empire, and someone is leaking their darkest secrets to the feds.
