Gabriel Hendricks used to be a priest. The church excommunicated his ass when he refused to cover up a sexual scandal that exposed the hypocrisy and twisted ideology of organized religion. Abandoning his faith gave Gabriel time to care for one of his parishioners-turned-mentor at the end of the man's long life. Following his death, Gabriel inherited priceless relics along with a luxurious Manhattan penthouse to store them in. Adrift in a city full of temptations, he has a fortune large enough to indulge any of his wicked whims. He and his dog Goliath are settling in when the building's manager, Everly Wright, makes Gabriel feel a little too at home in his new surroundings. As he struggles to find inner peace, he begins to realize that caring for others is still part of his calling, just in an entirely new-and very erotic-way. Lost, Gabriel seeks to regain balance in his life and decide for himself what's good for his soul...even if it makes him a sinner of the worst sort.
