Description
Maris lives behind a veil. As a temple-bound priestess, she hides her face, keeps her eyes lowered, and dresses in white robes that mark her purity. Her days are quiet, bound to confessionals where she listens, forgives, and resists temptation. Life is meant to be simple. Unshakable.
Until the stranger arrives.
Kieran’s sins are not dark confessions but gentle, dangerous flirtations with the priestess he should not desire. His words coax at her guarded heart, unraveling the walls she has so carefully built. She cannot look into his eyes, yet she feels his gaze as though it burns through every layer of her restraint.
What Maris does not know is that her charming confessor is no ordinary man—he is Kieran, the God of Desire himself, the very god her temple has sworn to resist. And while he hides his name from her, she hides secrets of her own: who she truly is, how she came to the temple, and the forbidden hope of freedom she dares not voice.
But the more she longs for him, the more fragile her vows become. And when their truths are finally laid bare, Maris must decide—will desire destroy her, or will it be the only thing that saves her?
