In an abbey on the hill, Sister Patience enjoys a quiet convent life caring for the bees and selling their honey and wax to the quaint town of Saint Semper. All was calm, stable and Godly until the arrival of a deadly plague, and with it, a heretical doctor.
Stranded at the abbey due to a storm, Dr. Corbeau stalks the halls, taunting Sister Patience about the futility of faith and the prayers that pour from her mouth on behalf of the plague-stricken town below. The longer he stays, the darker and more sinful Sister Patience’s dreams become. The darker her dreams, the stronger and more violent her contrition. The deeper her wounds, the more tender the doctor’s healing touch.
While time stretches on, the death toll rises as innocent people continue to fall to the disease. Desperate to bring an end to the plague, Sister Patience decides that if God won’t answer her prayers, she’ll summon someone who will. Can Corbeau help Sister Patience find a new path, or will the nun fall from grace?
The Bird and the Bee is a historical, M/F, dislike-to-love romance novella that deals with sinful thoughts, religious trauma, death and mourning. It features self-flagellation, and repression.
Part of Sins of the Sacred, a dark priest romance shared world series featuring eleven amazing authors.
