The Dearly Departed (The Patron Seints #1)

Welcome to Seint Manor. Where villains are created and devils are born …

My name is Abraham Crowley. My friends call me Bram. And I never wanted to be a bad guy.

From the moment I was born on the streets, the cards were stacked against me.

And ever since, I’ve been forced to do things I never wanted in order to survive and protect those smaller and weaker than me.

Now, as a man, that need to save the people I care for has led to a deal with the devil.

And with my identity hidden behind a plague doctor mask, I know my mountain of sins greatly outweighs any good I’ve managed to give to this world.

But there’s a yearning in my blackened heart for the woman I spent decades searching for-—a woman I can never have-—and with that longing, there’s hope that if I can hold tight to what I feel for her …

Then, maybe it’ll be enough to keep me from becoming the devil hanging over my shoulder …
