A Little Too Far

Twenty-year-old Lexie Banks just slept with her stepbrother. In her defense, she was on the rebound. But even though she’s always been attracted to Trent, he’s her best friend and her confidant. Which means their mind-blowing sex in a moment of weakness shouldn’t be the only thing she can think about. Lucky for her, she’s leaving for a year abroad in Rome in two days. But Rome turns out to be no less fraught.

Raised a good Catholic, Lexie turns to the Church to confess her sins in hopes of alleviating some of her guilt…and maybe not burning in hell. But she stumbles out of the confessional right into Alessandro Moretti, a young and very easy on the eyes deacon…only eight months away from taking his vows.

As Lexie and Alessandro grow closer, she finds herself confiding things in him that she never would have dreamed she could tell anyone but Trent, and when Alessandro’s signals start changing despite his vow of celibacy, she doesn’t know what to think. She’s torn between falling in love with the man she’s known forever and the man sworn to the service of God. And isn’t sure how she can live with herself either way.
