Sinner

He’s temptation incarnate. She’s a vow away from giving it all up. From Sierra Simone, USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author of Priest , comes a sinfully seductive forbidden romance where faith, lust, and redemption collide. Sean Bell is wealthy, wild, and unapologetically wicked, a man who’s never believed in forgiveness or forever. But when Zenny Iverson reenters his life—his best friend’s little sister and a novice nun with one month left to choose her path—everything changes. She wants to know what desire feels like before she takes her final vows. And she wants Sean to be the one to teach her. What starts as a dangerous game becomes something neither of them expected: raw, soul-shaking intimacy that forces them to question everything. Unholy in the best way, intensely emotional, and spiritually erotic, Sinner is a taboo romance that cuts deep and burns hot.

Sean Bell is not a good man, and he’s never pretended to be. He doesn’t believe in goodness, God, or any happy ending that isn’t paid for in advance. There are words for men like him: playboy. Womaniser. Skirt-chaser. Sinner. When he meets a gorgeous college girl at a fundraiser, he has no problem telling her exactly what filthy things he wants to do to her — until he realizes she’s his best friend’s little sister, Zenobia 'Zenny' Iverson, all grown up. Worse than that…she’s also about to become a nun. Zenny, though, isn’t looking to play it safe during her final month of freedom. She wants to make sure choosing God is the right path, and to do that, she propositions Sean to show her every carnal temptation she’s leaving behind. Unable to refuse, Sean finds himself falling for her, body and soul, and questioning not just the morals he’s dodged for years, but his relationship with the God Zenny has pledged herself to. The only problem is…what if Sean wants Zenny to choose him instead of Him?

I'm not a good man, and I've never pretended to be. I don't believe in goodness or God or any happy ending that isn't paid for in advance. In fact, I've got my own personal holy trinity: in the name of money, sex, and Macallan 18, amen. So when the gorgeous, brilliant Zenny Iverson asks me to teach her about sex, I want to say yes, I really do. Unfortunately, there are several reasons to say no--reasons that even a very bad man like myself can't ignore. 1. She's my best friend's little sister. 2. She's too young for me. Like way too young. 3. She's a nun. Or about to be anyway. But I want her. I want her even with my best friend and God in the way, I want to teach her and touch her and love her, and I know that makes me something much worse than a very bad man. It makes me a sinner. Sinner is a standalone companion to Priest about Father Bell's brother Sean. You do not have to read Priest or Midnight Mass to read Sinner.

The land Tencendor has been united for more than forty years. The Starman Axis defeated the dreaded monster Gorgrael and by fulfilling his destiny he has brought peace finally to the three races of this land: the Icarii bird people, the Avar tree people, and the humans who for generations controlled (and oppressed) the other two races. Attaining god-like powers, Axis chose to retire to the ethereal sphere in the heavens with his beautiful consort Azhure and ceded his authority to his son Caelum SunSoar. As Supreme Ruler of Tencendor, Caelum holds the reins of power carefully and the thousands of years of ill-will between the three races seems to be at an end. All seems golden for this land. Or so it might seem. But the path of the son is not necessarily that of the father. Caelum is untried and has known nothing but peace during his lifetime. And while the three races appear at peace, there are undercurrents of jealousy and bitter memories just buried beneath the surface. So when strange powers threaten to come through the Star Gate (a source of power that gives those with magic their near immortality) bent on the destruction of all he holds dear, Caelum will have to find the strength to fight this threat. Complicating this situation is the almost impossible death of his Icarri sister...and the culprit appears to be none other then his hated brother Drago, who as a baby had been in league with Gorgrael and had sufficient power to try to kill Caelum. As punishment Drago was made mortal (unlike his near invulnerable siblings). As Caelum struggles to hold all he holds dear safe, he is left with this quandary: Is Drago as powerless as he seems? Is his hate for his fate enough to have him murder? And is he in league with the demons that hover ever nearer? This is the fourth book in Sara Douglass's The Wayfarer Redemption series, however it starts a brand new story arc and is the perfect place for new readers to enter this series.
