Unholy Vows

By K.J. Johnson

Book Overview

They say the devil wears many faces.

In Boston, he wears a collar.

Father Malachai O'Connor may be a man of the cloth, but he is no savior.

The cassock is his camouflage. A perfect place to hide a predator who only understands obsession, control, and how easily faith can be weaponized.

When Layla Monroe steps into his world, he doesn't offer salvation.

He watches her.

Tests her.

Draws her deeper into his shadows.

What begins as a dangerous game becomes something far more twisted when Malachai decides she doesn't just belong in his world - she belongs to him.

Layla knows she should run.

Instead, she leans into his depravity because the darkness doesn't frighten her... it awakens something she's been starving for.

There is no redemption.

No absolution.

Only damnation sharpened by desire.

But while Malachai believes he controls the game...

Someone else is watching Layla, and this predator doesn't want to possess her.

He wants to destroy her.

For readers who loved Haunting Adeline, Lights Out, and Butcher & Blackbird, this dark romance standalone delivers predatory devotion, obsessive attraction, psychological tension, and a love story that was never meant to be holy.
