Fallen

by Margaret Lind

Father Paul Rourke is a young priest in a small rural town. Well-respected and kind, serving others and his Lord is his calling. But Paul's life is forever changed when he unexpectedly meets Jersey Blaine, a victim of domestic violence. As he counsels Jersey, his attraction to her is undeniable. Paul soon faces the realization that he is falling in love with a woman who he has promised to protect. As the young priest struggles to resist temptation, he suffers a tragic loss that leaves him weak and vulnerable. Father Paul finds himself in a position where he must make a choice between his Church and the woman he loves. The choice seems clear until he learns that Jersey may not be who she says she is. Deceived and betrayed Father Paul begins to question everything that he believes. When Paul learns that the local authorities want him for questioning, he knows that the time has come to pay for his sins. Accused of a crime that he did not commit, a tormented Paul loses his will to fight. Will his transgressions cost him his Church, his freedom or his life?
