I’m a single mother who lost custody of my son. Every night without him feels like a dagger to the heart, but I won’t give up. My ex is a lawyer and a powerhouse, someone unbeatable. I need to clean up my image, so I turn to the last place I thought would help—church.

That’s where I meet Father Carmichael.

Gorgeous. Untouchable. Completely forbidden.

I thought I was getting my life back together, but instead, he pulls me into a dangerous game. He offers me a deal: help him bring down a ruthless crime boss, and he’ll help me with my case.

The problem? I don’t have a clue what I’m doing.

Now, I’m spending late nights in dark corners with a man I can’t have, learning skills no mother should ever need. The closer we get to our target, the more tangled we become. Until the lines between right and wrong, holy and sinful, blur beyond recognition.

I’m caught between two impossible battles—winning back my son, and protecting a man I shouldn’t even want.

Saving my soul? That might be the one thing I’m too far gone to do.
