A Nun With A Gun

Sister Felicia dislikes the serene life at the Blessed Garden Convent, most especially the goats. Instead of obedience and prayer, every night she escapes her room to make sure a visiting nun, Sister Mary Grace, survives her stay unharmed.

When a mysterious vagrant arrives to assist the convent caretaker, Sister Felicia goes on high alert. Is this man something more than he seems, something deadly and dangerous?

Josiah Gallagher has his own concerns. Who is the beautiful young nun who prowls the ground when the rest of the nuns are sleeping? The nun who removes her homespun robe to swim naked in the convent spring?

When Sister Felicia is kidnapped by mysterious assailants, Gallagher comes to the rescue. Stranded in the desert, they are forced to rely on each other for survival. Sister Felicia’s courage convinces Gallagher she is more than she seems. She reluctantly comes to the same conclusion about him.

As their pasts and missions entwine, they must work together to guarantee their safety and that of Sister Mary Grace. Will the attraction simmering between them be the answer to a prayer or a curse?
