In Defense of Love

Lately, nothing in Garrett Nash's life has made sense. When two people close to the U.S. Marshal deeply wrong him, he expects God to remove them from his life. Not so. Surrendering to the Lord's will, Garrett is the one who has to relocate to another city to start over, as if he were the offender instead of the victim. Criminal attorney Shari Carmen is comfortable in her own skin, most of the time. Being a dark and beautiful African-American sister has its challenges, especially when it comes to relationships. Although she's a fireball in the courtroom, she knows how to fade into the background and keep the proverbial spotlight off her personal life. While playing tenor saxophone at an anniversary party, she is in the spotlight and grabs Garrett's attention. As God draws them closer together, He makes another request of Garrett, one to which it will prove far more difficult to say "Yes, Lord."
