Allouette by Michael Stone

Some women have their bosses for lovers, but how many have their bosses as confessors? Nicci Bleu loved her boss. He was good to her. He sent her on expeditions on behalf of the church to right wrongs and release souls looking for redemption. He started out as her spiritual father but it blossomed into something more. Now, he was also the one to bless her while she was on her knees. Still, there was a void in her life and it wasnt just between her legs. She never met her biological father. Her mother gave her away to an orphanage in France. Before she died, Nicci asked her mother if there were other siblings. Her mother whispered not to worry as there would be other sisters at the orphanage. Niccis life becomes one of searching and yearning to find her own version of family and lasting love amidst missions of death and intrigue.
