Cleric by Gail Haris

All I’ve ever wanted was my freedom from my boastful and controlling father.
When I discovered he’s gambling away my savings at The Golden Halo casino on the muddy banks of the Mississippi River, I had no choice but to go there.
I’ve heard whispers about the eccentric man who runs it, his illusive identity as much of a mystery as what’s lurking in the shadowy swamps. He sounds more myth than man, but the moment I sit across from him, and he offers me a deal, it all becomes shockingly real.
To settle my father’s debt, the broody handsome stranger wants me to live with him for three months. I was ready to agree. Ready to give myself to him.
Until he told me the final piece of the arrangement…
I have to give him a child.
