Jane used to have a different name, a different life—but that was before she was rescued from the refugee camp after the Rwandan genocide and brought to the convent to be raised. Now she is being dismissed, told to go out into the world. 

Tim Singleton lost his wife to breast cancer less than a year ago and yet the pain and anger is still fresh in his mind. When Corrine died, so did Tim’s faith…so when he received the call from the convent, Tim isn’t quite sure why he agreed to help the young African girl with a job. 

She didn’t quite fit in with the others at the law firm that wore thousand dollar Chanel suits while her clothes were picked with care from the donation bin at the church. At nearly six feet tall, the shy girl tried to become invisible in the hectic world around her. But if her ill-fitting clothes didn’t draw attention to her, then it was a beauty that couldn’t be hidden so easily.

Soon Jane sees Tim as not only her benefactor, but her one true love. But can Tim finally open up and allow someone else touch his heart? Can he forget their difference in race and age? And more importantly, would being with him mean the loss of her innocence?


A Seal Upon Your Heart

Dhakiya stopped laughing. "Good for you, little sister."


When Martier pulled up into the driveway, Tim was in the back yard. He let her drive the car whenever she wanted. She could already smell the slow smoking meat that he'd put on before she left. Mmm. She was starving for food—and for Tim.  


"Look," Tim said into his cell phone, "I want to introduce you guys to her officially as my girlfriend." Tim looked up at Martier, and a soft smile tugged at his mouth. "I appreciate your invite to dinner. Just let Elaina know that Martier will be with me. Good. See you, brother." He disconnected and slipped his cell phone into his pocket in time to wrap his arms around the beautiful woman standing before him. 


"Hi, honey, you look exhausted." He placed a soft kiss onto her lips.
