A dark contemporary romance from viral BookTok and USA Today bestselling author Emily McIntire
featuring reimagined characters from popular fairy tales and other stories. *** He is
righteousness. She is sin. Father Cade Frédéric is a holy man. Brought up in the streets of
Paris he has dedicated his life to the church. But there's a monster that lingers just beneath
the surface. A sickness. One that bleeds darkness and feeds on the damned. When he's tasked to
become the priest in Festivalé Vermont a town both beautiful in architecture and riddled with
despair his sickness sings demanding he rid the place of evil. Amaya Paquette is Festivalé's
beautiful mystery. She spends her days caring for her younger brother and her nights
transforming into Esmeralda dancing for greedy eyes and shameless lips. Although she longs for
love she shies away from companionship afraid of being abandoned again. When Father Cade
lays eyes on Amaya he finds himself ensnared convinced she's using witchcraft to lure him to
her. He can't eat. Can't breathe. Can't think unless it's of her. And temptation is a
devastating mistress. She's his weakness so he decides he'll be her demise...even if it means
killing the only woman he might ever love. Crossed joins the Never After series as a dark and
sexy reimagining of a classic tale twisting it into an enticing new shape for mature readers.
