All my life I've been good.

A good student.

A good sister.

A good girl.

Until I wasn't. Until Grandpapa sent me here to the convent for the nuns to fix me.

Reverend Mother demands penance.

Grandpapa demands punishment.

And three men threaten it all.

The Professor, whose words drip with arctic arrogance.

The Priest, whose dark eyes linger on me for too long.

And the Devil of Saint Margaret's, the chilling specter I hope isn't real.

I'll need to suffer them all to get out of here, beginning with my Professor.

He is an enigma behind midnight-black eyes.

He doesn't want to be here.

He loathes tutoring me.

But, sometimes, in the quiet of the classroom ... I catch him staring at me.

And I feel the scorch of his gaze feather my skin.

He'll eat me alive if I give him the chance.

But the darkness in me wants the lines between us to blur.
