Freeing Grace Laura Powell

When Jezmeen Williams reveals to Ethan Adams that she's pregnant, he believes he's the father of the baby. With Ethan's newly found faith guiding his decisions, he desires to make his live-in girlfriend, Jezmeen, his wife. Ethan encourages Jez to leave bartending and find a job with daytime hours, so when an assistant decorator position at Monica Taylor's franchise, Style Street, becomes available, Jezmeen applies and is hired.
One of her first client's is fifty-four-year-old Christian counselor, Charles Noble. He recently moved to Springfield and is opening up a private practice. With the passing of his wife, Charles has relocated to be near his aging parents. Charles recognizes that Jezmeen carries many emotional wounds, and he skillfully draws out her pain and insecurities. In the process, Jezmeen becomes strongly attached to the kind man. Even though Charles is more than twenty years older than her, he finds himself drawn to Jezmeen as well.
All the while, Ethan is regularly attending church and Sunday School, where he meets worship leader Ariana Thompson. Ariana seems practically perfect, and the two become friends. While Ethan is developing his spiritual life, Jezmeen is being tutored in marketing, design, and a manipulative set of values, by her narcissistic boss, Monica Taylor. When Monica presents Jezmeen with a career offer that appears amazing, Jezmeen has much to contemplate, including her relationships with Charles and Ethan.
Ethan, too, has decisions to make. Choices involving his newly discovered biological dad, Wayne, and half-sister, Isabella, believing in God's goodness when people let him down, and knowing God's will for matters of his heart, weigh on Ethan. Able to stand alone, book three of the Capitol Heart series concludes with Freeing Grace which portrays a picture of God's merciful love for His children.
