Crossed (Nunca Jamás, 5)

He is morality. She is sin. Father Cade Frédéric is a man of God. He grew up on the streets of Paris and has dedicated his life to the Church. But beneath the surface lurks a monster, a disease that oozes darkness and feeds on the damned. When he is assigned to be the priest of Festivalé, Vermont, a town of beautiful architecture and desolate souls, the disease cries out to him to rid its streets of evil. Amaya Paquette is Festivalé's most beautiful mystery. By day, she cares for her little brother, while by night she transforms into Esmeralda and dances before lustful eyes and shameless lips. She longs for love, but avoids all relationships for fear of being abandoned again. When Father Cade first sees Amaya, he becomes obsessed with her and is convinced she has bewitched him. He cannot eat. He cannot breathe. He cannot think of anything but her. And temptation is a cruel mistress. She is his weakness, so he has to put an end to it... even if it means killing the only woman he could ever love.
