    About this ebook

    Shay Lamont was sick and tired of dating men who didn’t know the first thing about being faithful. She’d spent a lifetime chasing after losers, now she was determined to spend the rest of her life chasing after God.

    Just as Shay sets her sights on God, Malcolm Harris sets his sights on her… and Malcolm is just as determined to get what he wants. If Shay can let her guard down and learn to trust again, she just may discover the mighty love God intended for her heart only.

      Chapter One

      "Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth for thy love is better than wine. Because of the savor of thy good ointments thy name is as ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love thee."

      As Shay Lamont listened to the minister read from The Song of Solomon, the only book in the Bible in which the main plot was about human love, she realized that she had been settling for less than she deserved. Her cell phone buzzed and she rolled her eyes as she received yet another text message from Kevin Davis. She had been dating Kevin for about three months and things were beginning to heat up. Kevin had explained to her in no uncertain terms that he wasn’t into self imposed celibacy and that when he dated a woman he expected some action.

Had this man been reading her messages or what?

      Another text from Kevin came in. Why haven’t you called me back? I need you.

      Shay stood up and walked out of the back sanctuary door like an obedient pup responding to her master’s call. She huffed her way to the fellowship hall, sat down at a table near the bookstore and called Kevin. What’s so important? she asked when Kevin answered  the phone.

      I thought we were going to hook up.

      I told you that I was going to church tonight.

      Church, church, church… that’s all you ever talk about, Kevin complained. "I need my lady to be with me
