The Carmen Sisters series, Book I: No Easy Catch

Will the real Christian men please stand up? Churchgoer Shae Carmen hasn’t lost her faith in God, only the men she’s come across. Shae’s recent heartbreak was discovering that her boyfriend was not only married, but on the verge of reconciling with his estranged wife.

Humiliated, Shae begins to second guess herself as why she didn’t see the signs that he was nothing more than a devil’s decoy masquerading as a devout Christian man. Although the scandal forces her to leave her position as a reporter at a Nebraska television station, Shae receives a blessing and lands a coveted position at a St. Louis television station.

 What does it take for a man to relinquish his pride? St. Louis Outfielder Rahn Maxwell is about to find out. God makes His presence known when Rahn finds himself a victim of an attempted carjacking. The Lord guides him out of harms’ way by opening the gunmen’s eyes to Rahn’s identity. The crook instead becomes infatuated fan and asks for Rahn’s autograph, and as a good will gesture, directs Rahn out of the ambush!

When the news media gets wind of what happened with the baseball player, Shae’s television station lands an exclusive interview. Shae and Rahn’s chance meeting sets in motion a relationship where Rahn not only surrenders to Christ, but pursues Shae with a
purpose to prove that good men are still out there.

 
After letting her guard down, Shae is faced with another scandal that rocks her world. This time the stakes are higher. Not only is her heart on the line, so is her professional credibility.   She and Rahn are at odds as how to handle it and friction erupts between them. Will she strike out at love again?   The Lord shows Rahn that nothing happens by chance, and everything is done for Him to get the glory.
