Saint

Saint by Sierra Simone. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781949364170.

I cant have Elijah Iverson. I cant have him because hes my older brothers best friend. I cant have him because I broke his heart five years ago; because hes now engaged to someone else-someone kind and dependable who deserves his whiskey eyes, his soft mouth, his fierce intellect. I cant have Elijah because Ive chosen God instead. The Bell brothers, though . . . well, we dont exactly have the greatest track record with vows. But Im determined to do this monk thing right-to pledge myself to a cloistered life and spend the rest of my years in chastity and prayer. But now Elijahs here. Hes here and hes coming with me on my European monastery road trip, and between the whispered confessions and the stolen kisses and the moments bent over an ancient altar, my vows are feeling flimsier by the day. And vows or not, I know in my heart that it would take more than a good and holy monk to resist Elijah Iverson right now. It would take a saint. And we all know that Im no saint. (This is the third full-length standalone in the Priest Collection, featuring Father Bells brother, Aiden Bell. You do not have to read Priest or Sinner to read Saint.)
