Still Guilty (2010)
Cheney Jamieson made a difficult decision in the past, and now it's affecting the lives of three men she loves in surprising and unexpected ways.
Cheney's twin brother, Rainey Reynolds, is bitter after a former girlfriend terminates a pregnancy that he welcomed. When he learns that his sister made the same choice, Rainey lashes out at her with disdain. Can the new Christian woman in his life help him understand that forgiveness is the first step toward healing?
Cheney's husband, Parke K. Jamieson VI, is expected to sire the next generation of Jamiesons, but complications from Cheney's botched abortion makes carrying a baby to full term impossible. The only hope is Parke's illegitimate son, who was in foster care until he was recently adopted. Parke needs a couple of miracles, but he has to wait on God's timing.
Cheney's father, Dr. Roland Reynolds, has had his own past indiscretions. Could Cheney be paying for the sins of her father?
Still Guilty, the third installment in Pat Simmons' popular Guilty series, reminds us that sometimes we don't have any control over things that are set in motion, but God is always there to help us weather the storms.

Not Guilty of Love (Book II of the Guilty series) (2009)
One man, one woman, one God, and one big problem.
Malcolm Jamieson wasn't the man who got away, but the man God instructed Hallison Dinkins to set free. Instead of their explosive love affair leading them to the wedding altar, God diverted Hallison to the prayer altar during her first visit back to church in years.
Malcolm was convinced that his woman had loss her mind to break off their engagement. Didn't Hallison know that Malcolm, a tenth generation descendant of a royal African tribe, couldn't be replaced? Once Malcolm concedes that their relationship can't be savaged, he issues Hallison his own edict, "If we're meant to be with each other, we'll find our way back. If not, that means that there's a love stronger than what we had."
His words begin to haunt Hallison until she begins to regret their break up, and that's where their story begins. Someone has to retreat, and God never loses a battle.

Talk to Me (Urban Christian) (2008)
Brief description of Talk To Me
Noel Richardson is perfect, but degrees, wealth, and good genes don't define a man. The CEO of a St. Louis non-profit organization, Noel doesn't respond when women whisper compliments behind his back. It's only God's voice Noel hears.
His life has been anything, but easy since surviving a fireworks explosion that kills his best friend and shatters his hearing. That's in his past. He's learned to co-exist between two worlds?hearing and Deaf. One example is Noel tolerances ridicule from his friends when he's slow to interject into their lively sports debate despite mastering lip reading. Living in the Deaf community isn't any easier. There are constant reminders that Noel is a distinct outsider.
For years, his Sunday morning worship consisted of tele-evangelists. Spiritually, he was dying from the lack of fellowship. What could he do? Very few churches had what he needed.
Then Noel stumbles across an invitation flashing on a portable sign: Thanksgiving service. All are welcome. Deaf ministry provided.
Once inside God's Grace Church, he's captivated by Interpreter Mackenzie Norton's graceful hands.
To Noel, Mackenzie's exquisite, a steadfast believer, and head strong. With her, Noel can hear the impossible.

Guilty of Love (2007)
Guilty of Love Blurb
When do you know the most important decision of your life is the right one?
Reaping the seeds from what she's sown; Cheney Reynolds moves into a historic neighborhood and becomes reclusive, energized only by restoring a dilapidated cottage that once resembled somebody's home.
Cheney didn't know yard work was so hazardous. First her neighbor, the incomparable Mrs. Beatrice Tilley Beacon aka Grandma BB, an opinionated childless widow who is a sassy senior citizen. Grandma is a self-proclaimed expert on topics Cheney isn't seeking advice?everything from landscaping to hip-hop dancing to romance.
Another neighbor is a harmless, irritating stalker. Parke Kokumuo Jamison VI is a direct descendent of a royal African tribe. He learned his family ancestry, African history, and lineage preservation before he could count. Blessed with a sharp mind, a handsome image, and a wealthy portfolio, Parke is convinced that finding a woman worthy of his love requires hours of research. A task he indulges in with zest. But his soul will make the ultimatum choice. Somehow his heart is malfunctioning when it chooses the strongly-independent Cheney who barely notices what other women don't forget?his presence.
Their worlds collide during a morning jog. Parke notices Cheney in front of her house, and she's not a pretty sight. He categorizes her as a Survivor contestant. Seeing an accident waiting to happen, Parke not only rescues her from a sure fall, but also rescues her heart that needs an extreme makeover. Cheney isn't stirred by Parke Jamison, whatever number he claims to be, because he is not a "right fit" in her life.
At the same time Cheney succumbs to her guilt, Parke learns he's not as squeaky clean as he believes. Unwittingly, they are drawn to each other, but it takes Christ to weave their lives into a spiritual bliss while He exonerates their past indiscretions.
