From USA Today bestselling author Sierra Simone comes an ALL-NEW standalone romance in the Priest universe. *** Birdie Cooper has nothing left.

Now she's working nights at a gas station to scrape together a living and a way to care for her sister, completely alone and separated even from the art that gave her life meaning.

He's been trying to find the tremblingly shy lecturer from his senior year of college after she abruptly disappeared after their first and only kiss.

If Birdie agrees to be his in every way for a single year, then he'll pay for her sister's care for as long as she's alive. And what does Birdie have left to lose anyway? The forbidden fruit is her only chance at salvation. Unfortunately for Birdie, she might just be the only chance for his...
