Father Jude Carter has hit the highest point in his life and, at the same time, the lowest in his career. The love like no other that he's found in ex-con Anderson Grant comes with a heavy price: giving up the priesthood. To this point, his life has been one of sacrifice of himself in service to others. Now, for the first time, it feels right to put himself, his needs, his love first. Tormented by fear and doubt, Jude nevertheless clings to hope for the future. He desperately wants to believe that his prayers for peace and happiness will be answered. It feels, though, like they are falling on deaf ears. Once he is no longer a priest, can he survive on love alone? Anderson Grant spent ten years in prison; he did the crime, so he did the time. A year into his new life, he's met and fallen in love with the one man who should never even have been on his radar...Father Jude Carter. The priest is everything Andy most admires and respects: a man of integrity, honorable and loyal, with a deep vein of passion that before Andy he expressed in his service to his parishioners. If only Andy can get his lover to trust that what they have together will overcome the hurdles being flung their way. Andy has to believe his life is worth more than his reputation as a violent ex-con or there's no reason to hope. As Jude and Andy venture into a shared life, will they find the peace that they both so desperately seek? Will their love be strong enough to overcome the challenges, or will hate triumph, driving them apart forever?
