The Price We Pay: The Path of Temptation, Book 1
Length: 15 hrs and 54 mins

Everyone wants to give in to temptation, but no one wants to pay the price.

I was a child when my father surrendered me to the Temple of All Gods. No one gave me a choice. No one even bothered to explain. I was simply tossed aside, unwanted.

That was the day the God of Temptation claimed me as his.

Now, I’m studying how to become the perfect priestess. Life in the temple means embracing my emotions and learning to harness each type of desire. Power, fear, lust, and rage are the most common, but not the only ones. Each has a power. Each has its place. I just have to figure out which kind of priestess I’ll become.

Before I decide, I have questions, yet no one seems willing to give me answers. My only option is to leave it in my god’s hands. This won’t be easy, and my instructors think I’m a fool, but Temptation has been listening. Asking. Offering it all.

In exchange, he intends to use me.

I have demands. The priest and priestess who took me in have become my family. The guys? They taught me to love. How am I supposed to give this up? Why should I? Not even a god can make me walk away from them! All I have to do is stand my ground.

In this temple, there’s always a temptation. The question is if I’m stubborn enough to resist…or brave enough to pay a god’s price.

The Path of Temptation series features a strong woman and the men who love her. It’s intended for a mature audience due to graphic language, adult situations, and potentially triggering violence.

The Paths We Lay: The Path of Temptation, Book 2
Length: 16 hrs and 56 mins

To find temptation, we must lay our own path.

For the last ten years, I thought I was nothing special. I was just another priestess in the Temple of Temptation…one of many. Little did I know that my god has plans for me. He intends to make me powerful.

But what I will become is up to me.

For centuries, things here have always been done the same way—and the gods are now paying for it. Somehow, I’m expected to revive the faith. I’m their last hope, but no one is quite sure how I’m supposed to do that.

That means I’m making this up as I go. My god is begging me to become something new. My temple wants me to respect traditions. My instructors want to force me to follow their rules.

I just want to save my god.

With my three men, I know I’ll figure it out. That is not the same as this being easy, though. Even worse, being “special” makes those around me jealous, and giving in to temptation is a part of our nature. When my guardian’s family gets involved, things get infinitely more complicated.

The temple wants to break me. My success or failure depends on the path I choose. I just hope I find the right one.

The Path of Temptation series features a strong woman and the men who love her. It’s intended for a mature audience due to graphic language, adult situations, and potentially triggering violence including discussions of rape and assault.

The Games We Play: The Path of Temptation, Book 3
Length: 19 hrs and 31 mins

We’re tempted to play games, thinking they will give us more power–but that only works if we win.

After spending the holidays with my guardian’s family, it seems that everyone in the temple has the wrong idea. The Baron isn’t my patron. He’s not even a friend. In truth, I hate the man.

But the rumor mill is strong, and jealousy is running rampant.

This is all just one more excuse for my instructors to hold me back, lower my grades, and try to force me to choose one path. I can’t! My god needs me to save him, and the Path of Temptation gives me the power to do that.

Except that I’m drowning in the pressure, feeling like I’m failing my god. I need to make people believe in him, but how can I do that when I can’t believe in myself? All these mind games are starting to pile up, and it’s tearing me apart.

But Zeal is getting stronger.

That’s enough to keep me going. No matter how hard they try to push me down, I’ll just keep fighting back, learning to play this game better each time. I will not become the victim here, because I’m not doing this alone. My lovers will always stand with me.

But this is not a game. If we fail, we’ll lose everything…including each other.
