Dark Romance

Taste & Temptation (Book II in Deadly Sins Series)

Maria De León lost her faith the day her family cast her out. She returns only for her brother’s funeral—uninvited, unwanted, and ready to leave it all buried.

​

Until she sees him.

​

Father Adrian Leclair is too young, too intense, too fixated on her. He offers comfort, shelter, devotion—but beneath his vows is something obsessive, possessive… ravenous.

​

Adrian calls it compassion. Maria knows better.

She shouldn’t go back to him. She does anyway.

​

Because their connection isn’t holy—it’s consuming. Built on sin, guilt, and something dangerously close to worship. And once they give in, they don’t stop.

​

In this parish, desire is sacrament. Indulgence is sacred.

And gluttony feels like love… until it devours you whole.

​

• “Touch her and die”

• Sin, guilt, and sacrilege
