He is righteousness. She is sin.
Father Cade Frédéric is a holy man. Brought up in the streets of Paris,
he has dedicated his life to the church. But there's a monster that
lingers just beneath the surface. A sickness. One that bleeds darkness
and feeds on the damned. When he's tasked to become the priest in
Festivalé, Vermont--a town both beautiful in architecture and riddled
with despair--his sickness sings, demanding he rid the place of evil.
Amaya Paquette is Festivalé's beautiful mystery. She spends her days
caring for her younger brother and her nights transforming into
Esmeralda, dancing for greedy eyes and shameless lips. Although she
longs for love, she shies away from companionship, afraid of being
abandoned again.
When Father Cade lays eyes on Amaya, he finds himself ensnared,
convinced she's using witchcraft to lure him to her. He can't eat. Can't
breathe. Can't think unless it's of her.
And temptation is a devastating mistress.
She's his weakness, so he decides he'll be her demise...even if it means
killing the only woman he might ever love.
