The author of the bestselling Lambda Literary Award finalist Vampire Vow delivers a romantic thriller of revenge, spirituality, and seduction.   Juan Ramón Fuertes was only seven years old when he witnessed his parents’ brutal murder by their business partner, Martin Esteban, in a deal gone awry. After nursing his hatred for fifteen years, he devises the perfect plan to avenge his slaughtered parents: He’ll use Esteban’s pious yet troubled son as the instrument for his revenge.   Bernardo Esteban thought he’d finally conquered his sinful desires, just in time to ensure his ordination. One look at the newest addition to the monastery, however, shakes his conviction. Juan Ramón is everything Bernardo has ever wanted—and threatens his dreams of becoming a priest.   Juan Ramón’s scheme has one flaw. Revenge is a dish best served cold, and the feelings he has for Bernardo are anything but. Will love soften Juan Ramón’s resolve, or will he sacrifice the one thing he didn’t know he wanted to achieve his long-awaited revenge?   “A sexy, savory novel . . . Schiefelbein is a masterfully atmospheric writer . . . An unusually intelligent psychological thriller.” —Richard Labonte, author of Boy Crazy   “Pulp fiction to the max . . . A compelling read and the characters are clearly drawn. Like a guilty pleasure, you just may have to hide it in your robes when people are looking.” —Instinct   “Just like Vampire Vow, Blood Brothers will keep you riveted and begging for more.” —The Libery Press Less
