Seasoned With Grace

by Nigeria Lockley

Overview

Sentenced to probation, thirty-year-old supermodel Grace King must put her plans of transitioning into acting on hold. Desperate to keep a close eye on Grace and his job, Grace’s ambitious lawyer, Ethan Summerville has her complete community service in the last place Grace wants to be—his church.
Instead of God, Grace finds a “chocolate drop” of a man, Brother Horace Green. Unfortunately, Horace isn’t looking for a supermodel. He wants his woman saved and sanctified, but Grace has never met a man who has been able to resist her. Will Horace compromise his faith for a taste of fortune, fame, and Grace?
While Grace focuses on the pursuit of passion, Ethan finds one director willing to take a risk and cast Grace in his debut film, but this role fits Grace all too well. Will this film revive Grace’s relationship with God and her career, or bring her closer to destruction?

Editorial Reviews

05/18/2015
Supermodel Grace King has made headlines repeatedly for bad behavior. Her latest altercation in a nightclub has landed her a term of community service at her lawyer's church; forced to fit in, a reluctant Grace is surprised to meet the good-looking Horace Brown, a church member who's looking for a churchgoing woman. Grace has a lot of issues to work through, especially when she reconnects with two men from her past who had been powerful negative influences. She has a supportive network of friends and an entrenched set of bad habits pulling her in opposite directions; will she heal, or continue her self-destructive spiral in public view? Lockley (Born at Dawn) has a good eye for celebrity and designer brands; a particular strength is her clever dialogue. She also manages to make Grace a likable diva with a credible arc of character development. Fans of urban fiction can look forward to Grace's next adventure and to Lockley's development. (July)
