Her confessions made me long for things that were dangerous, off-limits, and even forbidden. Lacy Keats was my past—a girl I had a crush on in high school. But when she walked into my church beaten, bloody, and broken, I had to help her. I needed to do right by the girl who used to stand up to my bullies for me. She fought the demons that haunted me once upon a time, and now, I needed to do the same for her. Helping her wasn’t a choice—it was the only thing that had felt right in a long time. Lacy made me feel like a man again, and that was dangerous. How could I be the man I wanted to be, and walk away from my life as a priest? The lives of the many people I served paled in comparison to the only woman I had ever wanted, but never got to have. My only excuse—I’m a sinner. Forgive me, Father, for I am about to sin. Confessions of a Sinner is book one of the Forgiven Series by K.L. Ramsey.
