One eventful evening and twelve years of silence later, Solomon Haynes shows up again on Grace Myles’s doorstep. Once his good looks had made her giddy, and his charisma had coerced her out of her shell. Just one look and Grace knows his effect on her is still the same. She had given him her heart the first time and something more. That had been a mistake. She’d be a fool to fall for him a second time. With a battle raging between her heart and mind, she fights to resist his allure and his promises that the second time around can be different.

Private problems and a secret sin had kept him from coming back to her twelve years ago. With the benefit of time and conversion, Solomon acknowledges that he made a gross mistake. Grace’s forgiveness is what he craves and just one opportunity to win her love for keeps this time.

With persistent enemies dredging up his past, he might be fighting a losing battle for her love and her trust. But failure is not an option, for it would mean losing Grace and the gift he left behind twelve years ago.

Waiting on God is no longer an option. A twenty year grudge plus a target…equals payback. Time had caught up with the Watson clan, and Karen Monroe is about to deliver her brand of justice for what they did to her family years ago. Douglas Watson becomes her ideal instrument of revenge. Enter Operation: ‘Bring Him Down.’ The thing is that God is not mocked, and when He says vengeance is His, He means it. Karen, however, forgot those little details. 

Her ‘Bring Him Down’ plan backfires, and her tangled web of deceit traps her as well as Douglas. His heart isn’t the only one that is broken. Now they are both stuck in a situation where only strife and pain reign. Will she forgive his family for the hurt they caused hers, especially since they haven’t changed? Or will hatred cause the permanent loss of the man she loves and even the salvation of her soul? 

Jasmine Lewis arrives in Indian Run to find her employment offer null and void.  What's an unemployed teacher to do with the start of school three weeks away?  Pray.  She does much of that.  An answer comes quickly and she finds a babysitting job.  The kids are darlings, but their father is another story.  Difficult is a mild word to describe her employer.  He hardly smiles and always accuses rather than gives constructive criticism.  Every time he opens his mouth he aggravates her.  Why then does she extend care not only to his kids but to him as well?  Go figure.  When her act of helpfulness ends up in an accident one night, she sees a sensitive and warm side of him when he takes care of her.  Now she knows there's a heart beyond the hardness and realizes the pull she'd felt around him before was attraction.  Jasmine knows it can't go anywhere, not with the problem she has.

Adam King needs a sitter but doesn't want one.  The woman who shows up for an interview looks like a kid herself.  Can this tiny thing keep order in his home?  He hires her against his better judgment and promptly wants to fire her.  The woman rubs him the wrong way with her quick tongue and sassy attitude.  She's good with his kids, and they like her.  That's the only reason he doesn't fire her, or so he tells himself.  Despite her cheek, she's a thoughtful and kind person.  Pretty soon, Adam finds himself doing what he never thought he could--caring for someone other than Cheyenne.

For Adrianna Reid (Dri), the word 'no' is just a roundabout road to 'yes'.  So when her husband's every answer to them having a baby is 'no', she finds a way to get the response she wants.  Here's the trouble:   That secret and winding road to 'yes' has consequences that neither she nor her husband, Christopher, will like.

When Christopher discovers what Dri has done, he is furious and vows he'll never trust her again.  She has pulled the wool over his eyes for the first and last time.  But when a cruel turn of events sends Adrianna to the hospital, Christopher has a change of heart and vows to cherish rather than punish his wife.  Now that he's ready to exercise forgiveness, she isn't ready to receive it.  He didn't trust her before and now she doesn't believe the sincerity of his about-face.

The rift between them widens, and the devil capitalizes on their vulnerabilities at this fragile time.  Information comes to light that strikes doubt in Christopher's heart and makes him wonder if he has placed his trust in Dri too prematurely.
