Forgive Me Father For I Have Loved

Dane is the rock. Now he's caught between love and a hard place.

Father Dane Caruso is everyone's shoulder to lean on. He's easy going and optimistic, however, all that came into question after the death of a dear friend. Dane begins to look at his life and do some soul searching, revisiting situations and monsters from the past that continue to rear their heads in his time of need and spiritual upheaval. He seeks relief in unconventional people, places and things, not always to his betterment. Trying to get back on track, he goes to a local park, one of his all-time favorite places to simply sit and think.

As he continues to visit the park for peace of mind and solace, he can't help but notice a beautiful Bohemian woman. Rhapsody Blue.

Rhapsody is an amazing songstress. Not only can she carry a note, but she also carries her own burdens, too. She is practically Father Dane's polar opposite, yet the two forge a friendship built on humor, respect and admiration. She's rather intuitive, but one thing she didn't see coming was becoming attracted to a priest.

They say friends make the best lovers, and the best lovers are often soulmates. Rhapsody arouses feelings in him he'd suppressed since he entered the priesthood. He can't get her out of his mind. She is a comforting, familiar spirit. However, the struggle soon ensues once Dane realizes he likes as more than just a friend, and he has to make serious choices that could affect so many people who love and depend on him.

He is at a crossroads - does he give up the priesthood to be with her, or forge ahead, forgetting about Lotus, the angelic songbird that floated right into his heart...
