Sacrilege

A Dark BWWM Irish Mafia Forbidden Romance

By: Alana Wade

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

She vowed to serve God. He demanded she serve him.

Novice Siobhan Duclair believes in one thing: protecting the hungry souls of Charlestown. But her sanctuary, St. Jude’s, is crumbling. The gas is cut, the pantry is empty, and the Diocese is more interested in selling the land to developers than feeding the poor. When the Church turns its back on her flock, Siobhan is left with a desperate choice: watch her community starve, or accept help from the devil himself.

Declan Rourke is the King of Charlestown. Ruthless, scarred, and lethal, he rules the streets with an iron fist. He doesn't believe in forgiveness—he believes in vengeance. When he finds Siobhan scrubbing floors with bleeding knuckles, he doesn't see a nun. He sees a queen in hiding.

He offers her a deal: He will save St. Jude’s. He will destroy the corrupt priests and the rival Rossi family threatening her kitchen. He will give her the power to protect what she cherishes.

But the price is high.

It’s not money he wants.

It’s her.

"I don't want your prayers, Sister. I want your devotion. Given not to a silent heaven, but to me."

As Siobhan uncovers the rot of heroin and greed hidden beneath the altar, her faith in the Church turns to ash. Now, she must decide if she is willing to trade her habit for a crown of fire. Because in Declan’s world, you don’t turn the other cheek—you burn the whole world down.

Amazing plot

This story may not appeal to the religious readers. I enjoyed it as there is more to religion. Humanity out wins.

Could have been better

This could have been much better, it was too repetitive, they constantly said the same thing over and over and over again. It was annoying.

It was long and drawn out

If I had to hear that Declan smelled like whiskey and metallic one more time… I mean I heard you the first 30 times… The story was just weird all around.. I hate I started it and thinking it would get better but nope it only got worse
