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

"I think I'm more excited than nervous." She wasn't sure if that was true. As they drove down the various streets leading to her old home, she tried to determine if anything looked familiar—but nothing did. Not even the market triggered a memory, and she knew that she had walked there daily either with her brothers and sisters or with her mother. Things had changed a great deal.  


Soon they drove up to a home surrounded by a stone and cement wall. The memory of her first home returned to her. 


Geoff got out of the truck and helped her out. There was a metal door leading into the yard, and he knocked on it sharply. It wasn't the same door, but everything else was exactly the same. 


A man opened the flimsy door and stared at them. Thankfully, Geoff did all of the talking. Martier's voice had disappeared as her eyes travelled around the front yard and then locked onto the neat house.
