In Defense of Love
Sobre este e-book
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."
