    Summary

    “Do you always watch me that closely, Eminenza?” he asks, eyes on Aldo. Something in his voice has shifted, too, dropping it into what might almost be a conspiratorial mutter, and Aldo shouldn’t delude himself into thinking he can read anything into it. It’s been too long.

    Some doors should stay closed, especially after they’ve been slammed shut.


    After the conclave, over the course of seven days and seven conversations, Aldo Bellini is forced to retrace the steps of a past he's spent thirty years trying to forget and slowly comes to the realisation that old, buried feelings might not have been buried that deeply after all.

    Summary

    Thomas Lawrence never comes forward with the simony papers. Joseph Trembley is elected Pope.

    Thomas, now stripped of his title of Dean and cast out of the Vatican, finds himself unmoored. Salvation comes in the form of Vincent Benitez, trapped in Rome by papal decree and unable to return to his beloved parish. As the two struggle to find their footing, a slow intimacy begins to bloom between them.

    That is, until Vincent falls ill.

    As unforeseen revelations begin to rock the very foundation of the Church, the two are unwillingly thrust back into Vatican politics. While Vincent struggles to maintain his sense of self while forced to carry a miracle, Thomas must decide what matters more: his dedication to his faith or the love he feels for Vincent.

    Summary

    As the Thirty Years' war inches closer to an end, a group of influential people gathers at a monastery deep in the Bavarian forest: The future of Europe will be shaped by them.

    Father Vincent Benítez finds himself embroiled in politics and scheming against his own will. Navigating a war-torn Europe is hard enough; navigating his own heart is even harder as he gets to know these people - especially an exiled English priest.

    A lifetime at war and an impending peace: it's 1648, Vincent has a secret and a papal mandate. His heart ignores both of those facts.
