Cara Fleming, a detective for the Chicago Police, fears she may have been found by her abusive husband. When her apartment is set afire in an attempt to stop one of her investigations, she has no recourse but to disappear into the undercover world of the homeless. She knows this world well, as she has lived this life before in other cities. Her investigation centers around Ian Stafford, a figure who seems to have underworld connections. Ian is believed to have murdered a man and Ian’s lady friend, Jasmine, has sought Cara’s help. How can Cara hide Jasmine without breaking the law?

Bryan O’Shaughnessy, an Episcopal priest, meets Cara and recognizes her to be his soulmate. Bryan enlists the help of a detective friend to try to locate Cara’s husband, without her knowledge, realizing this may endanger their relationship. Can he convince her to marry him? Can Cara’s partner, Marcus, help protect her from Ian’s friends? 

I had no problems envisioning the story as it unfolded. I especially liked Bryan when he laid the vestments of his church aside and jumped onto his motorcycle. He reminded me so much of an Episcopal priest I used to know. Lovers of  contemporary Christian fiction will want to pick up a copy of MOMENT OF TRUTH.
