Kidnapped Protagonist

 Jordi's second book is out, A Lover's Passion by J. Albert Reus. This is Book 2: Martina Steward, of The Julian Bacardi Trilogy.

It's taking forever for Juli's laicization.  He's still a priest, only in name.  He's not giving sacraments or celebrating Mass.  He's a man who has been kidnapped by his former secretary, Isabel.  The first book ended with her arrest.  Here she walks in the beginning of the story.  It seems she's a government agent.  She's after the bad guys and needs Juli to help.  

The reader gets a lot of background on Isabel, Martina, Anna, and Sofia.  Juli's love is Sofia; he wants to marry her.  But Isabel's love is Juli and she works her womanly wiles to seduce him.
