Can't Fix Cupid
Marcos Diego was held against his will for over a year, and the only
thing that kept him going were daily visits to his cell by Sister
Valentina. She had come by the Camillo compound every day, offering him
conversation, prayer, and even her shy smile when he told her a dirty
joke to make her blush. She was beautiful, with her long dark hair, and
caramel-colored eyes that looked at him with such compassion, kindness,
and dare he believe it—longing. She was only twenty, just a girl
compared to his almost forty years, but when she looked at him the way
she did, he wanted to do things with her that a man should never want to
do with a nun.
Valentina wasn’t sure how she was ever going to escape her little village, but she had to. She had no choice since her father betrayed the Camillo family. They were one of the biggest crime families in the Guadalajara Syndicate, and her only way to safety was to pledge her undying love and life to a God who didn’t care about her or her family. She said her vows, made promises she never intended on keeping, and then met him—Marcos Diego. He made her feel things that she had never felt for any man. Things that would get her kicked out of the nunnery, her only solace from the Camillo family. As a nun, she could hide in plain sight. If she was caught with Marcos, she’d be shunned, ousted from the order, and made to face the Camillo family on her own, but that was a chance she was willing to take if it meant finally being with him.
