Grace Equally Scavenged by Crackers

Book excerpt: Rebecca Pilums is a flapper with a shady past and a low bank balance. She hopes circumstances will improve for her and Edward, her ne'er-do-well husband, after her mother dies under mysterious circumstances—but the entire estate goes to Stephanie, her annoyingly devout sister. Detective Charles East is a widower who's been hired to provide security for Stephanie's family. He believes he's finally found a path to healing when he meets Jessica, their maid—but Jessica isn't as sweet and innocent as she lets on. When tragedy strikes and hidden truths come to light, they each face a choice. Will they fall prey to old, destructive habits? Or will they open their hearts to the grace that's been available to them all along?
