Info

To the Dirty Laundry girls and the Literary Gossip posse—I can’t tell whichone of us is the bad influence on the other. Let’s never change.And to Laurelin, for all those late night theology sessions and the Sundaymorning sermon trading. We’re in sync. Jinx again.
Author’s Note:I spent the majority of my life in the Catholic faith, and while I’m no longerCatholic, I still have the utmost affection and respect for the Catholic Church.While the town of Weston is real (and delightful,) St. Margaret’s and FatherBell are purely inventions of my imagination.This novel is entirely fictional and entirely for entertainment, (and yes, itcontains some of my personal views around the intersection of sex andspirituality,) but it’s not intended to offend or provoke. That being said, thisnovel is about a Catholic priest falling in love. There is sex, more sex, anddefinitely some blasphemy.You’ve been warned.
