First in a series based on the beatitudes, this is the story of widowed Kara Shepherd and her struggle to overcome the emotional trauma left behind by her abusive husband. Widower Tyler Corbett, on the other hand, is certain he once had a perfect wife who could never be replaced. Although their reasons are very different, neither Kara nor Tyler is willing to consider remarriage to anyone. When family members on both sides drive them crazy trying to get them interested in each other, they feel safe pretending a romantic involvement because they're both positive they're immune to love. What they haven't anticipated is how big a part empathy will play in their actual relationship. Or, how hard it will be to keep from breaking their mutual promise to never again fall in love.

Stacy and Graydon find themselves working together for the good of the orphaned child, even though they come from totally different backgrounds and seem to view the world from opposing perspectives. There are only two things that might eventually bring them together in spite of their differences; love and concern for lonely, frightened Missy, and a mutual Christian faith. In the hands of the Lord, that’s more than enough.

She finds acceptance. Love. And the home of her own she's always yearned for."
*** Scribes World Reviews "WAGES OF SIN is a wonderfully suspenseful
novel. I was very intrigued by the author's addition of
the Lincoln County Wars to the story and I was impressed at how
accurate she was in her research. If you are any kind of
a suspense buff, this is the novel for you."
