After The Amen

"Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned."

Regina Alessandra Bellandi has spent her life mastering power.

As the only child of one of Italy's most feared mafia families, she was raised to lead an empire where loyalty is everything and weakness is unforgivable. To the world, she's untouchable. To herself, she's simply surviving the life she was born into.

Father Gabriel has spent his life serving everyone but himself. Bound by duty, faith, and promises made long before he understood their cost, he's learned that some sacrifices become so familiar they no longer feel like sacrifices at all.

Neither expected a chance meeting after Sunday Mass to become the beginning of an unlikely friendship.

But as the line between duty and desire begins to blur, they're forced to confront a question neither of them has ever dared ask:

Who are we when our titles are taken away?

In a world where every choice has a price, they'll have to decide whether love is worth becoming strangers to the lives they've always known.

After the Amen is a slow-burn romance about identity, duty, family, and the courage it takes to choose yourself... after the prayers are over.
