Chains of the Crimson Cross: A Knight’s Last Sin

In a crumbling monastery forgotten by time, a wounded Templar knight returns from the Holy Land carrying a cursed relic—and a secret obsession. Haunted by visions and guilt, Sir Corwin seeks solace in the shadows, only to find temptation cloaked in the purity of a cloistered novice.

Sister Elira has buried her past beneath vows and silence. But when a stranger arrives with eyes like stormlight and sins carved into his flesh, her devotion begins to fracture. The relic pulses with dark intent, awakening desires neither faith nor discipline can suppress.

As passion flares in the hush of candlelit corridors, the sanctuary around them begins to unravel. Whispers rise in the night. Sisters fall ill. The walls breathe with something ancient—and the Cross watches from the dark.

Torn between sacred duty and forbidden longing, Corwin and Elira must decide if love can be born in the ruin of devotion—or if surrendering to each other will cost more than their souls.

Will desire lead them to salvation… or awaken a judgment none can escape?

This novel is part of SINS OF THE CENTURIES, an interconnected collection of standalone historical romances where passion burns across the ages.

They were warriors and rogues, kings and killers—men born of blood, battle, and forbidden fire. Across shattered empires, storm-lashed highlands, and velvet-draped chambers, they took what they wanted… until desire struck back. Bound by duty, driven by lust, and haunted by the sins of their time, these men meet the one woman who will ignite a passion fierce enough to defy history.

SINS OF THE CENTURIES is a searing journey through the dark and decadent edges of romance, where love is war, trust is a gamble, and surrender is the most dangerous sin of all. From captured brides to defiant ladies, pirate queens to rebel warriors, each heroine matches her hero in fire and fury. Together, they carve out love stories too bold to be forgotten—and too hot to be forgiven.

Every era holds a secret. Every legacy hides a temptation. In a world of blades and betrayals, these lovers risk everything to taste what should never be theirs.

If you hunger for dominant men with steel in their hands and shadows in their pasts—and heroines who refuse to kneel—step into the heat.

Because history remembers power. But passion? Passion leaves scars.
