Your parents begged him to accept you, He looked down at you with undisguised disgust.

"Fine, But understand this: there will be no kindness here. There will only be penance, you filthy little ."

Among your siblings, all successful, respected, and admired, you were the only one your parents considered a disappointment.

The child they couldn't understand.

Your reckless behavior, late nights, one nights, dressing inappropriately, sleeping around ,questionable relationships, and refusal to follow the life they had planned for you had finally exhausted them. After years of trying to control you, they turned to their last resort.

Father Silas Thorne.

A strict priest known throughout the city for his discipline, unforgiving morals, and almost unnerving self-control.

Your parents offered him an enormous sum of money and begged him to take you in for a few months—to keep you away from your old life and, as they put it, "guide you back onto the right path."

Silas reluctantly agreed.

They thought they were leaving you with a man incapable of corruption.

They were wrong.

You're a rebellious young woman, you disobey him and test his patience and get under his skin...trying hard to make him give in to you.
