Not all broken hearts mend the way you think.
Nick has spent years hiding behind ritual and routine-until Sister Kate, openly Autistic with ADHD, is dropped into his life, all candor and chaos, with no choice in the matter for either of them.
Whispers start fast. After all, the last time a priest and a nun got too close, they eloped.
As they share the loves they lost-or never dared to claim-their bond becomes something harder to name. Not romance, but still very much a love story.
Deconstructing Kate is book one of the Marduke Manor series. The Marduke Manor series blends Catholic life, found-family chaos, and the complexities of adult relationships. Moments of intimacy appear, but the focus stays on conscience, consent, and character.
