Forgiven
Description
The hardest thing Nikki has ever done is go home to Tabor Heights, to the people who know how far she fell, and the hearts she broke. Four years after she ran away with Brock Pierson, she has turned her life around, getting right with her family and with God. Now, working for the Arc Foundation, she is sent to assess the Mission for funding. She refuses to fail the God who has forgiven her, and let down her home church.
Turning against his drug-runner boss and working for the DEA was just the first step for Brock to pay for his crimes. Released from prison, he follows Nikki home. Now that he has given his life to God, he wants more than anything to win her back, and make sure their love is the right kind. Shadows from his past might prevent that, just when redemption is within reach.
Nikki knows she won't find full healing until she forgives Brock, but she discovers she has to forgive herself, first.
