The Priest

Tiffany Reisz’s USA Today bestselling Original Sinners series returns with the long-awaited sequel to the eighth book, The Queen.

When a New Orleans parish priest is found dead of an apparent suicide, the police see no reason to investigate. Private detective Cyrus Tremont knows a cover-up when he sees it, however. A former cop, he’s seen it all…or so he thought.

Clues point him in the direction of Nora Sutherlin, an erotic romance writer who moonlights as a dominatrix. Together, they form an unlikely bond built on their shared need for justice.

As Cyrus is drawn deeper into Nora’s underground world of pleasure and pain, what lines will he cross to discover the truth about the priest? And what will he and Nora do with the truth once they find it?

The Priest is the beginning of a new era for Reisz’s Original Sinners series, and the perfect jumping-on point for new readers.

Praise for the Works of Tiffany Reisz

“Daring, sophisticated, and literary…. Exactly what good erotica should be.” — Kitty Thomas on The Siren

“Kinky, well-written, hot as hell.” — Little Red Reading Hood on The Red: An Erotic Fantasy

“Impossible to stop reading.” — Heroes & Heartbreakers on The Bourbon Thief

“Stunning…. Transcends genres and will leave readers absolutely breathless.” — RT Book Reviews on the Original Sinners series

“I worship at the altar of Tiffany Reisz!” — New York Times bestselling author Lorelei James

Author’s Note

The Priest is the ninth full-length title in the ongoing Original Sinners series. For those reading chronologically, this story takes place in New Orleans four months after the end of The Queen.

For new readers, welcome! The series follows the adventures of Nora Sutherlin, an erotic-romance writer who moonlights as a dominatrix, and the many men (and women) in her life.

While events in previous books in the series are alluded to, The Priest can be read as a standalone—no prior reading necessary. If you enjoy it, I invite you to read the rest of the series, beginning with The Siren.

A full listing of Original Sinners titles can be found in the front of this book, as well as at www.tiffanyreisz.com.

Dedicated to the ghosts of New Orleans.

Here is the world. Beautiful and terrible things will happen. Don’t be afraid.

Frederick Buechner

One cannot live the afternoon of life according to the program of life’s morning; for what was great in the morning will be of little importance in the evening, and what in the morning was true will at evening become a lie.

Carl Jung

Chapter One

A priest was dead. That’s all Cyrus Tremont had been told in the thirty-second phone call that had summoned him to a house on the corner of Rose and Annunciation Street.

When he arrived at the yellow house, he was let in by a uniformed police officer guarding a body lying face down on a small red rug. On second look, Cyrus saw it wasn’t a rug.
