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

Tim looked out the back window of his kitchen. The sounds of young girls laughing put a smile on his face, but he still felt like that creepy guy who should be doing something other than watching girls frolicking around the pool. There was only one girl he had eyes for, and that was his own.


She wore a modest, black, one-piece swimsuit, but she could have been wearing a garter belt and high heels for the way she affected him. It had been so many months since they'd touched that his desire for her was comical and perhaps even pathetic. 


He pulled himself away from the window and contemplated finding some way to entertain himself, some way that didn't include touching his penis. Yes, there were many perks to his upcoming marriage to Martier, but a huge one was the honeymoon. There would be no sex until then—nothing close to sex.
