For Dani, becoming pregnant at 16 was bad. Having her church turn against her as a result was worse.
And watching the father of her child lead the congregation's attack against her was, perhaps, the worst.
But most painful of all was that Dani Vanderholt could not reveal the truth.
After all, who would believe that Jedidiah Jackson-the powerful and beloved Bishop of her church and its congregation-would dare father a child with a girl as young as his own daughter?
Despite having Dani shut out from "his" congregation, Bishop Jackson remembers the girl that he fell in love with.
And what better way to kick off the 10-year Pastoral Anniversary celebration than by forgiving the sins of the past, and welcoming Dani back into the flock?
With his secret "safe" all these years, Jackson cannot wait to see the fine, young woman Dani has blossomed into. But some secrets are never safe.
Some skeletons are not content to remain in the closet.
