Murder Through the Grapevine

Roni Jarrett was once in love with a high-rolling strip club owner who used her and abused her, causing her to lose her self-respect and the job of her dreams. With nothing left but her newfound faith in Christ and her old BMW, she hits the road and ends up where she started: in her old hometown. She finds a job in an upscale beauty salon, becomes music director for her church, and does all she can to live a life that is pleasing in the eyes of God. But other people's drama has a way of following Roni Jarrett, and it follows her home. When a childhood friend turns up dead in the streets, the local police behave as if she may have had a hand in that death, and everything changes.

Roni finds herself caught up in a dangerous maze of gossip and lies that could lead to her own destruction. She also finds that the only man willing to help her, police chief Don Gillette, is a gorgeous hunk of a human being who makes Roni's heart pound, but whose own reputation causes even more drama to enter her life. Roni's faith is tested time and again as she struggles to understand what is happening around her, and how her budding relationship with Don Gillette, a relationship that seems God-sent, may get caught in the wreckage too.
