Priest

He vowed to serve God. But the moment she spoke, he wanted to worship her instead. From USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestseller Sierra Simone comes a darkly poetic, emotionally charged taboo romance where every choice is a sin, and every touch feels like salvation. When Father Tyler Bell hears Poppy Danforth’s voice in his confessional, everything he believes begins to fracture. His vows. His purpose. His faith. What begins as a spiritual struggle becomes a sensual awakening that threatens to consume them both. Torn between salvation and desire, Tyler must choose which altar to kneel before: the church…or her. Priest is a gripping journey into the heart of forbidden love, with achingly lyrical prose, explosive heat, and the kind of intimate, boundary-pushing passion that will leave you breathless.

There are many rules a priest can't break. A priest cannot marry. A priest cannot abandon his flock. A priest cannot forsake his God. Tyler Bell has had no problem playing by the rules for the last three years after a family tragedy set him on the path to priesthood. That all changes when the delicious, sultry voice of Poppy Danforth sinks its claws in him through the screen of his confessional booth, and he can’t get her sins out of his head. It should be easy to put his impure thoughts of her to rest, considering the vows Tyler has taken. It should be nothing to overcome what the sight and sound of her does to him, when his life with the Church means everything. But once he has his first forbidden taste of those red lips, Tyler can't help but break all his rules for Poppy — no matter what it might cost them both.
