Crossed: Collector’s Edition Sprayed Edge by Emily McIntire (Hardback)

He is righteousness. She is sin. Crossed is the fifth book in Emily McIntire’s #1 New York Times bestselling Never After series.

Father Cade Frédéric is a holy man. Raised on the streets of Paris, he has dedicated his entire life to the church. But there’s a monster lingering just beneath his surface, a sickness that bleeds darkness and feeds on the damned. So when he’s tasked with becoming the priest of Festivalé, Vermont, a town as beautiful in its architecture as it is riddled with despair, his sickness begins to sing, demanding he rid the place of its evil.

Amaya Paquette is Festivalé’s beautiful mystery. She spends her days caring for her younger brother and her nights transforming into Esmeralda, dancing for greedy eyes and shameless lips. Though she longs for love, she shies from companionship, terrified of being abandoned once again.

When Father Cade first lays eyes on Amaya, he finds himself utterly ensnared, convinced she must be using witchcraft to lure him to her. He can’t eat, can’t breathe, can’t think of anything but her. And temptation, he’s finding, is a devastating mistress. She is his weakness, and so he resolves to become her demise, even if it means destroying the only woman he might ever love.

This collector’s edition hardcover features specially printed sprayed edges and an exclusive case design. Please note this is a dark romance. Perfect for readers who love a dark fairytale retelling, a forbidden slow burn and a tormented, morally grey antihero.
