The Confessional

Ethan Fuller committed a mortal sin.

The prosecutor didn’t press charges. The judge wiped his record clean.

The victim forgave him.

But Ethan can’t forgive himself, not even after seven years.

Until one restless night, Ethan wanders into a quiet church, and in the multi-hued glow, he sees a priest…achingly beautiful as if the archangel artistically carved into the stained-glass window, come alive.

Father Jude Donlan returns the stranger’s gaze with equal intensity. And when the following morning, the stranger steps into Father’s Jude’s confessional, they both feel the sparks of an undeniable attraction.

Soft words, simmering looks and a heart wrenching confession…are

the components of a fragile, secret relationship that begins within the confines of a confessional and then into each other’s arms. . . and Ethan’s bed.

But, as Jude’s endeavors to separate from the priesthood are thwarted, Ethan’s world also shifts. After donating his sperm to his best friend, Gabby finds out she’s pregnant. At the same time, her wife demands a divorce. Refusing to raise the baby as a single mom, Gabby turns to Ethan, the biological father.

Ethan has always wanted a family but not before he had a

partner. Plus, he still struggles with the ramifications of his actions seven

years ago.

Jude has always come in second place to the whims of his family and the Church. So, having to be in second place again to a baby is out of the question.

When Isabella is born…Jude bolts leaving Ethan brokenhearted and with the biggest decision of his life—does he go after the man he loves? Or does he adopt Isabella and raise her alone?

The Confessional is a slow burn, second chance MM romance about a closeted priest, a guilt-ridden mechanic, a baby girl who steals their hearts and a chance for a forever love—if Ethan and Jude are willing to take the leap!
