Corrupting the Novice

HE CAME TO THE CONVENT TO HIDE. HE STAYED TO BURN IT DOWN.

Gerard Warren is a ghost. A professional hitman with a bullet in his shoulder and a price on his head, he needs a place to bleed out in peace. The secluded Saint Jude's Priory, buried under a mountain blizzard, seems like the perfect sanctuary. Silence. Solitude. Safety. Until she finds him.

Yvette Marshman is a prisoner. Dressed in a novice's habit, she hides a rebellious fire beneath layers of black wool. She isn't praying for salvation; she's calculating her escape from a corrupt mother superior and a life of cruelty. When she discovers the wounded wolf in the cellar, she knows she should turn him in. Instead, she stitches him up.

A storm is raging outside, but the real danger is in the cellar. Trapped together by the snow, the line between captor and savior blurs. Gerard is a man who deals in death, and Yvette is a woman desperate for life. He fascinates her. He terrifies her. And he tempts her to break every holy vow she ever made.

But the silence of the priory is a lie. The convent is laundering millions for a cartel, and the hit squad coming for Gerard isn't leaving any witnesses.

To survive the night, the hitman and the nun must forge an unholy alliance. Gerard will teach her how to shoot. Yvette will teach him that even a killer can be saved. And together, they will turn the house of God into a battlefield.

Some sins are worth the penance.
