The Warrior Priest

About the book

A warrior priest committed to celibacy and a spy running from her past. A tale of magic, temptation, and an inescapable destiny.

Jacqueline (Jac) has been living on the streets ever since escaping from her cruel uncle, the powerful governor of the city. He desires more than just political power and believes that a legendary talisman in Jac's possession can grant him what he seeks.

To survive, Jac has perfected her skills as a thief, catching the attention of Rhys Mayhew, a brother within a group of warrior priests. Rhys recruits her as a spy, and their partnership quickly evolves into something more. However, Rhys's faith requires strict adherence to vows of abstinence, and when he is unexpectedly promoted to the rank of master within his order, he faces an impossible decision: his duty or his growing feelings for Jac.

As her uncle's grip tightens, Jac seizes the opportunity to train as an assassin, leaving the city for months of intense preparation. Upon her return, much has changed - except for the forbidden bond she shares with Rhys.

When her uncle discovers her return, Jac's life is in peril, compelling her and Rhys to join forces. Together, they uncover the mysteries of the talisman and confront both old and new threats. However, the greatest threat of all is Rhys's loyalty, as resisting Jac becomes increasingly challenging with each passing day.
