I’m not a good man, and I’ve never pretended to be. I don’t believe in goodness or God or any happy ending that isn’t paid for in advance.
What do I believe in? Money. Sex. Macallan 18.
They have words for men like me—playboy. Womanizer. Skirt chaser.
My brother used to be a priest, and he only has one word for me.
Sinner.
Have you read the other books in the Priest Series – they’re about Sean’s brother Tyler! Loooove this series BIG TIME!
There are many rules a priest can’t break.
A priest cannot marry. A priest cannot abandon his flock. A priest cannot forsake his God.I’ve always been good at following rules.
Until she came.
My name is Tyler Anselm Bell. I’m twenty-nine years old. Six months ago, I broke my vow of celibacy on the altar of my own church, and God help me, I would do it again.
I am a priest and this is my confession.***Priest is a standalone, full-length novel with an HEA. For mature audiences only.***
We are told that God will punish the wicked. That sinful men will reap what they sow. We are told to scourge our souls with prayer and pain to become clean once again.
Well, here I am. Wicked and sinful. Desperate to become clean…even though it feels so good to be dirty.
But even I never expected what came next.
Even I never expected my punishment to come so soon.
***Midnight Mass is a novella and a sequel to Priest. It’s intended for mature audiences only.***
I will always love this sinner…

Sweet Zenny—
I’m sending you this email because I know it’s your first overnight nursing shift away from our baby, and I want to let you know that little Caro and I are JUST fine. We readHarvard Business Reviewtogether and then she fell asleep in her crib after I spiked her bottle of pumped breastmilk with scotch. (KIDDING.)
She wanted nothing to do with that crib, so she’s currently curled on my chest while I scroll through grant proposals on the iPad. (And no, of course I didn’t give her scotch. Medical dangers aside, she’s only four months old and wouldn’t be able to tell a Speyside from an Islay. I’d never waste my single malts on such an uncultured palate.)
We even said our bedtime prayers like good little Catholics. I’m such a reformed sinner, right? Does all this reform mean I can skip Mass on Sunday?
Yeah, I didn’t think so. And it’s okay, I kind of even like Mass now, if you couldn’t tell from me humming “One Bread, One Body” when I was cooking dinner tonight…and now I have it stuck in my head again.
I’m so proud of you for chasing your dream of opening a birth center, and I’m proud of you for being so patient with each step along the way–school and clinicals and this new job in Labor and Delivery. The only feeling equal to my pride is missing you. When you come home tomorrow morning, I’m going to give you the best foot rub you’ve ever had, and then take Caro to work with me so you can sleep.
I even promise not to let my foot rub turn into a leg rub…and then a Zenny-rub, like I did before you left for work tonight. Unless you want another Zenny-rub, because I think that can be arranged. There’s nothing I love more than parting your legs and seeing your pretty pussy all ready for me, except maybe seeing the flutter of your eyes as I tease at your clit. The long arch of your neck when I finally give you the two…or even three…fingers you’ve been begging for. The shape of your mouth as you murmur my name over and over again. The frantic grasping of your hands at my shoulders and in my hair and onto my ass as you roll and shiver through all the wicked and sinful things I do to your body. After all, I’m only a reformed sinner out of the bedroom. In the bedroom, I’m still the same Sean.
Sinful thoughts, sinful deeds. Sinful man.
See you in the morning, little nun.
Your sinner,
Sean
