Taste & Temptation: a Dark Priest Romance Sins Book

Maria De León stopped believing in God the day her family cast her out. Religion was their weapon, their excuse, their reason to forget her existence. Now the only thing binding her to them is a closed casket—her brother’s sudden death. She isn’t invited to the funeral, but she goes anyway, slipping into the back pew like a ghost haunting her own bloodline.

That’s when she sees him.

Father Adrian Leclair. Young for a priest, yet carved in austerity—broad-shouldered, soft-voiced, eyes dark as stained glass at midnight. He is not the boy she remembers from her childhood, but something sharper, something holy. He notices her when no one else does. He follows her out into the cold. He offers her food, shelter, and warmth.

But there’s hunger in the way he looks at her.

Adrian calls it compassion. Maria calls it obsession. Every kindness he offers feels like a trap, every bite of bread like a vow she shouldn’t take. She tells herself she won’t go back to him, but she does.Again and again.

Because beneath his holy vows lies something ravenous. A craving that matches her own.

And soon, they aren’t praying anymore. They’re consuming each other until hunger is all that’s left.

Maria knows she should resist.

Adrian knows he should repent.

But gluttony is never satisfied with just one taste. And once the feast begins, neither of them will stop until there’s nothing left but ruin.

In this parish, desire is sacrament.

Indulgence is sacred.

And gluttony tastes like love… until it swallows you whole.
