Are
you ready for a dose of Grace? She’s a beauty and the beast, which one will
prevail in her life?
About the book:
Sentenced to probation,
thirty-year-old, supermodel Grace King must put her plans of transitioning into
acting to extend the longevity of her career on hold. Desperate to keep a close
eye on Grace and his job Grace’s ambitious lawyer, Ethan Summerville has her
complete community service in the last place Grace wants to be. His church.
Instead of God, Grace finds a
“chocolate drop” of a man—Brother Horace Green. However, Horace isn’t looking
for a supermodel. He wants his woman saved and sanctified, but Grace has never
met a man who has been able to resist her. Will Horace compromise his faith for
a taste of fortune, fame, and Grace?
While Grace focuses on the pursuit of
passion Ethan finds one director willing to take a risk and cast Grace in his
debut film, but this role fits Grace all too well. Will this film revive
Grace’s relationship with God and her career or bring her closer to
destruction?
Excerpt (Exclusive):
“You know you miss him,” Grace said, chomping
down on a scallop.
Candace shrugged her shoulders and turned down
the corners of her mouth. “I’m satisfied.”
“With what?” Grace asked, leaning across the
table.
“With my savior,” Candace sang lightly, as if
she was leading the Sunday morning devotion at her church.
“Look
here . . .” Grace raised her fork and pointed it at Candace. “You might be
fooling some people with your ‘Long as I got Jesus’ routine, but I know when
the nights are cold and that rain is beating against your windowpane, you want
a man that’s there in the flesh, not in the spirit.”
Grace already knew the church rhetoric that
went along with the single life. Her mother had fed it to her when she was a
teen and to many of the women at the church who came to see her mother after
service to discuss itches that they just couldn’t resist scratching.
It was always about waiting, abstaining, and
being content with the things that they had, and maybe one day the Lord would
invite someone into a relationship. There was no help for the woman who wanted
to invite a man into a relationship herself. She was the jezebel and the
adulterous woman that Proverbs warned about. Nobody wanted to be her, and
Candace was trying to dodge that bullet by running away from Ethan and
rejecting his love.
“I hear you, Grace, but I’m not about to chase
a man that I caught all invested in you.” Candace took a sip of her water and
raised her eyebrows, soliciting a response from Grace.
“Candace, how many times do you want me to say
I’m sorry? I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. That was an accident.”
“Didn’t look accidental to me. It looked like
the woman whom I had admired for a long time was kissing the man whose rib I
thought God had plucked me from.”
Grace inhaled deeply and clutched her chest at Candace’s
revelation. She knew the two of them cared for each other, but she had had no
idea that their relationship had gotten all biblical already. Scratching her
temple, Grace recalled the time she’d thought she was a rib. The one time in
her life when she’d thought that she had been made for a purpose, and when nothing
but love had coursed through her veins and into her heart.
