RESCUE ME
When God Says Yes, Book 1
Marissa Ballard is “Delilah”, an exotic dancer who is living a life of shame in the eyes of her family and finally, herself. She doesn’t like whom she has become or how far down her life has spiraled for a man she thought loved her when he only saw her dollar value. She wants out and desires to take her life back and mend her broken relationship with her parents, yet their cold reception is a reminder of their disappointment in her life’s choices including turning her back on her daughter, Lacey.
Police Officer, Roman Hale’s heart never healed five years after losing his young wife to cancer. His profession no longer gives him hope that he’s making a difference in the lives of those he encounters on the streets of Philadelphia. His routine seems aimless and he longs for a new lease on life.
Marissa and Roman’s lives intersect and together they form a friendship built on courage, hope, and faith for a new beginning not just individually, but together as one when God arrives just in time, not to rescue them, but to send them to rescue each other.

When God Says Yes, Book 2
Raynard: I heard you can sing.
​
Zoe: Like you’ve never heard before.
​
Raynard: Show me and I’ll make you a star.
​
Zoe: Sit back, listen and then get your checkbook ready.
​
Zoe Hamilton had no idea that those words to music executive, Raynard Black, would come back to haunt her in her quest to use her melodious voice for more than singing in church. She wanted to be a star and was willing to sacrifice her dignity and the love and advice of her family in order to achieve it.
​
Jason Minor is a gospel recording artist on the rise and the moment he encountered Zoe, he knew there was more to her than her money, flashy lifestyle, and the entourage who were paid to cater to her every desire.
​
Zoe’s friendship with Jason had her taking a hard look at herself and whom she’d become as she finally discovered her true worth. Her struggle for release from her flashy, yet demoralized existence left her fighting to get control not only of her career but of her life.
​
Raynard Black had plans that did not include letting his money-maker go and Zoe had to show him that her release would not be his doing, but that faith in the ONE who gave her the talent that Raynard coveted was the only source for escape that she would need to get back to whom she was always meant to be.
Kimberly and Daniel Wright were living a life that looked perfect to anyone on the outside looking in. Their love seemed perfect, their wedding was the talk of the town and expensive cars and a mansion to live in made their life look like a fairytale, but the truth was, they were far from that.
​
Daniel had an addiction to alcohol that threatened not only his life and health but his relationship with his loving wife. The struggle to be a successful executive was an around-the-clock job and the liquid courage is what he counted on to sustain him through the ups and downs of living a life in the eyes of those who admired him.
​
Kimberly was at the end of her rope in her five-year marriage to Daniel. The love she thought they shared was dissipating before her eyes and she was exhausted from trying to keep the image of a happy and loving marriage for the sake of family and friends. In a desperate move to get her life back, she walked away from her marriage, hoping to find happiness again.
​
Besides losing the love of his life, Daniel had lost faith in the man who declared he would love, honor, and cherish Kimberly, forsaking everything that threatened to tear them apart. Somewhere, he’d lost faith in the loving, honorable, Christian man he once was and he knew that in order to get his wife and his life back, he had to seek restoration and healing and he needed to go back to where his love of life began in order to have the strength to fight for where he wanted to be.
