Father Cassius Benoit thought a post tending his new flock in the quiet backwaters of Louisiana would be the perfect excuse to spend the summer hiding from his demons.

That is, until damnation walks through his Church’s weatherbeaten doors, bright-eyed and holding hands.

Newly engaged, Noah Delaforte & Charlotte ‘Lottie’ Allard come seeking help from the town’s enigmatic pastor with their upcoming nuptials. They’re eager students, ripe for instruction. With their heartbreaking beauty and naive innocence, they make for the ultimate temptation.

So tempting, that soon enough, marriage counseling’s no longer the kind of guidance their good Shepherd has in mind.

The closer Fr. Benoit gets to the golden couple, the more his dark urges rise. Will he resist their sinful pull—or will he finally choose fire and brimstone?
