If Francis doesn't stop stirring up old ghosts, he'll be among them.Overwhelmed, hunted, and afraid for his life, there's only one place he can go, only one man he can turn to. The man of many sins, the man Francis killed for, the man who showed him what it means to be free. Vitari (Angel) Angelini.*Vitari cannot afford to put a single step wrong. He just needs to keep his head down, and do what he's good at-be L' Angelo della Morte for his father.He's doing just fine until rumors of a contract reach him. The target? A priest. It can't be Father Francis Scott. Francis is far away in England, safe from the mafia and protected by forces high above Vitari's pay grade.But too much from his time with Francis remains unanswered, and when it becomes clear the contract is for Francis's life, Vitari must act.He wasn't supposed to see Francis again. What happened in Venezuela couldn't follow them home, but now Francis is in Rome, exactly where he shouldn't be, and the moment Vitari sees him again, he knows he'll give up everything for Francis.

Newly ordained, he's determined to clean the stain off his soul, one day at a time.Until an angel walks into his church, asking Francis to take his confession. One look into Vitari (Angel) Angelini's eyes and it's clear, the man is made of sin.Francis can't afford any more mistakes. Unfortunately, the world Angel is about to pull Francis into leaves no room for good men, and as Francis is swept into the dark underworld of organized crime, his love of the Church, his broken soul, and all the sins he's been running from, conspire to break him.Will Vitari Angelini be his savior, or the final bullet in the gun of Francis's downfall?*Angel has no idea why he's been sent to England, other than to stakeout a priest for Italy's most notorious mob boss. He hadn't expected Father Francis Scott to be so young, or for him to be sinfully hot in his black cassock. He also hadn't expected the priest's haunted eyes to be filled with secrets.But when a rival criminal syndicate get the drop on Angel, almost executing Francis under Angel's watch, kidnapping the priest seems like the next best option. Now they're on the run, barely one step ahead of assassins who think nothing of crossing countries and continents to track them.Why are the Russian and Italian mafia so desperate to get their hands on Father Francis Scott? And why does Angel care?As they race to stay alive, Angel can't shake the feeling there's more to all of this than one not-so-innocent priest.
