Profane Offerings: a Dark Religious Thriller Romance

He spent eight years in a concrete cage planning my destruction. I planned on using him as my shield.

Estelle
Eight years ago, I was forced to commit a crime that sent an innocent man to a maximum-security prison. I’ve spent every day since hiding in the shadows of my antique shop, terrified that the monster who actually stole the five million dollars will return to finish me off.

Then, I heard his voice in the confessional booth.

Daniel Floyd is no longer the polished financial officer I framed. He is a paroled felon hiding behind a priest’s collar, drowning in a feral, unhinged need for vengeance. He thinks he’s hunting me. He thinks his terrifying midnight summons to the rectory basement and his ruthless blackmail will break my mind.

He doesn’t realize I intentionally set the trap. I need a monster terrifying enough to keep the ghosts of my past away, and I am entirely willing to surrender my body to the dark to bind him to me.

Daniel
The Church thinks they saved my soul. They don’t know I took the collar to hunt the woman who ruined my life.

Estelle Preston is a liar, a thief, and a parasite. I have tracked her down, invaded her sanctuary, and I will use every ounce of the authority this collar grants me to extract my retribution. I will drag her into the dark, strip away her defenses, and dominate every physical and psychological aspect of her existence.

But the closer I get, the more the lines between punishment and possession begin to blur. Her fear intoxicates me. Her submission consumes me. And when the violent reality of her past finally catches up to her, I realize the horrifying truth: my vengeance was a lie.

I don’t want to destroy her. I want to burn the rest of the world to the ground to keep her.

Profane Offerings is a high-stakes, psychological romantic thriller where the line between predator and protector is completely obliterated. Two deeply damaged souls collide in a web of blackmail, corruption, and toxic devotion.
