Honestly, another banger by Emily! This one is darker, more depraved, and sinfully delicious 🥵
Amaya is left picking up the pieces and caring for her younger brother Quinten when her mother shuns her in front of the entire town and leaves. 
Cade is a priest with a tortured soul and dark secret. He's devoted to Gos fully, until he meets Amaya. 
The slow burn to inferno between Cade and Amaya was perfect! They both deserve the world after the trauma they've been through! I love how absolutely feral they are about each other and the safety they find in one another.
I do feel like this is perhaps Emily's best writing. It's beautiful and heartbreaking, and you can absolutely tell that she put her heart and soul into the character Quinten.
