Publisher's Synopsis
According to canon law, it is forbidden for a priest to betray the penitent for any reason. Even murder.The consequences? Excommunication.For years, I've listened to your confessions. I know your darkest secrets, and have swallowed your sins in silence. In return, I've offered you forgiveness in His name. But behind the partition that separates us, I'm nothing more than a man who has long questioned his own faith. Your contrition is my invitation: to mete out the kind of justice you pray will never come. I'm neither pious, nor merciful, despite what you see. I'm an imposter, an abomination to all I represent. A quiet executioner who's kept below the radar.Until her.She's seen what I've done. She knows the man beneath the cloth and my every mortal sin. She has witnessed the uncontrollable vices she hopes to use against me in order to get what she covets most.Yet, I know her sins, too. Ones she doesn't bother to confess. The kind, for which, there is no absolution.*The short story first appeared in the Wanted: An Outlaw Anthology. This is the full-sized novel, which includes the conclusion to Damon and Ivy's story.
