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?

Bradley opened and then closed his mouth. "I'm sorry. I didn't realize that you and Linda—"


"Then …" Bradley looked uncomfortable before straightening his stance. "Then with all due respect, what's between Linda and me is our own business."


"So there is something between you? Because if there is then … wonderful. But if there isn't—and let's say that you are just trying to look for some action and you fuck with her. Then I'm going to fuck with you. I'm going to fuck with your job. I'm going to fuck with your life, and I'm going to fuck with your future."


Bradley paled. "I was just saying hi to her. There really is nothing going on."


Bradley nodded and turned to leave. Before he did he looked at Tim curiously and then closed the door behind him.


Oh yeah. There will be rumors. Tim shrugged.
